9. The Philippine
Normal University, then
known as the Philippine
Normal School (PNS), was
founded on September 1,
1901 through Act No. 74 of
the Philippine Commission as
the first institution of
higher learning organized
during the American regime.
PNS was converted
into the Philippine Normal
College (PNC) on June 18,
1949. It became a full-
fledged university on
December 26, 1991 under
Republic Act 7168.
Background:
10. For more than a hundred years since its
founding in 1901, the University has been
regarded as the premier institution for the
training of teachers and educational leaders. At
present, PNU has four provincial campuses in
the country: in Alicia, Isabela; in Lopez, Quezon;
in Cadiz, Negros Occidental; and in Prosperidad,
Agusan del Sur.
To date, PNU is designated as the
National Center for Teacher Education as
