COLLEGE OF ARTS, SCIENCES AND EDUCATION 

Angeles City

Brief History 

The College of Education of Republic Central Colleges has its humble beginning in the School Year 1947-1948 which during that time was on its third year of operation as Republic Academy. With its Junior Normal Course as first offering, the College had an initial enrollment of 26 students, who as graduates after two years, earned an Elementary Teacher's Certificate (ETC). The certificates qualified the graduates to teach in the elementary schools. 

The two-year course was well-received by the community as proven by the increase in enrollment. Thus, in School Year 1949-1950, the Bachelor of Science in Education (BSE) Inverted Course, a four-year teacher training course was offered with 67 students enrolled. Graduates of the BSE Inverted Course neither have major subjects nor field of concentration, but could teach in Elementary and High Schools.

However, to prepare teachers for the Elementary schools, the curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (BSEED) with no field of concentration was implemented; but later revised with the MECS Order no. 37,s. 1986, giving rise to a more specialized BEED course having English, Filipino, and Music, Arts and Physical Eucation as areas of concentration. Concomitantly, with the same MECS Order no. 37, s. 1986, a more expanded BSED for secondary school curriculum with major subjects was offered; to wit: Filipino, English, Mathematics, Physical Education, Health, and Music (MAPEH), Biology- General Science, Home Economics, History, and Library Science.

In the coming years after, revisions in both curricula were done purposely to keep pace with the demands of global competitiveness. 

Although the Elementary School and High School Departments are the laboratory schools of the BSED and the BEED courses, RCC continuously coordinates with identified partner public schools through a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Education for the students' off-campus practice teaching. The students' exposure in the laboratory schools, as well as with the partner public schools provide the student-teachers the opportutnity to relate theories, concepts and principles they learned in the classrooms with the actual school setting and real teaching-learning activities.

At present, the BSED and BEED programs of RCC are Level II-Reaccredited by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA).
