EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution recognizes the importance of education in nation building and
improving the quality of lives of their citizens.

and promote the right of all citizens to quality education and shall take appropriate steps to make
such education accessible to all. It shall establish, maintain and support a complete, adequate, and
integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the people and society.
This bill aims to strengthen the Kalinga State University by strengthening its research and
curricula in the various fields of study consistent with standards set by the world’s leading institutions
of learning.
The Kalinga State University was established on May 24, 2013, under Republic Act No.
10584, entitled “An Act Converting the Kalinga- Apayao State College in the City of Tabuk, Province
of Kalinga into a State University to be known as the Kalinga State University and Providing Funds
Therefor.” The Univesity provides higher education and advanced professional instructions and
trainings in the arts, agriculture, forestry, social and natural sciences and technology, and other
relevant fields of study. It also promotes and undertakes research and extension services and provides
leadership in its areas of specialization. The University is committed to provide quality education and
steadfast in developing the human resources in the Philippines.
Accessibility to quality education is imperative to improve the quality of life of the
Filipino people. In this regard, by increasing the funding and strengthening the curricula of Kalinga
State University and establishing it as a leading state university of culture, arts and indigenous
governance, the university will be in a better position to efficiently and effectively pursue its mission
of providing quality education to the residents of the Province, the Cordillera Region and the rest of
the country.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
