Soon to rise: Pio Duran Community College

Pio Duran Community College will soon have its campus at Caratagan, Pio Duran through the efforts of Pio Duran Mayor Henry Callope and Congressman Fernando V. Gonzalez.

The community college campus will consist of a two-storey building with eight classrooms. Additional rooms will be constructed in the coming years to accommodate more students.  A budget of six million pesos (P 6M) will be allotted for the construction of the school facility.

Mayor Callope, on the other hand, said that documents are now being processed to identify which technical courses will be offered at Pio Duran Community College. While courses are yet to be finalized, the local government plans to make the campus an extension of Pio Duran National High School. In which case, high school students will occupy the facility during the day and college students at night.

Mayor Callope also foresees the decrease in enrollment rate in vocational courses in the coming 2016 due to the implementation of K-12 in secondary education. Hence, there is a need for a careful planning on the implementation of vocational courses in the community college.
