History
[edit]School of Education
[edit]The College of Education traces its origins to the School of Education under the former College of Liberal Arts. The School of Education was established in 1913, per the recommendation of Paul Monroe, Professor of Education at the Teachers College, Columbia University. The School of Education also takes inspiration from the Philippine Normal School (now, the Philippine Normal University) and their specialization on elementary education.
Francisco Benitez, whom the building of the College of Education would be named after, would become the first director of the school.
The School of Education implemented a liberal arts-focused approach to education, with students taking classes at the College of Liberal Arts for the first 2 years, and finally classes at the School of Education for their 3rd and final year to accomplish a High School Teachers' Certificate. A year would be added to the course in 1915 upon the certificate's constitution as the Bachelor of Education program.
In 1916, the University High School was established as a laboratory school for the School of Education[3]
College of Education
[edit]On March 8, 1918, the Board of Regents approved the reorganization of the School of Education into the College of Education, beginning July 1 of the same year.[1]
At the time of its creation, the college only had a faculty compliment of two: the Dean and Professor of Education, Francisco Benitez, and Professor of Philosophy and Psychology, Henry Townsend.
Two years later, in 1920, the college established the Baguio Summer School for in-service training of teachers. The same year, the college also began specializing in health education, home economics, and physical education. The later two would later be developed into the separate College of Home Economics and College of Human Kinetics.
During the Commonwealth government, the college would begin conferring degrees such as the Bachelor of Science in education (with a corresponding Elementary School Teacher's Certificate for teachers specializing in elementary education), Bachelor of Pedagogy, Bachelor of Science in Home Economics, and Bachelor of Physical Education.
In 1937, the UP Elementary School was established as an additional laboratory school specializing in teacher education programs for principals, teachers, and supervisors specializing at the elementary level.
Upon the creation of the University of the Philippines Diliman, the College of Education would plan to move into its new home along the Academic Oval.
During World War II, the college closed due to pressure from the Japanese Occupation.
Post-War
[edit]On July 1, 1945, the College of Education reopened within the Philippine General Hospital. Due to extensive damage during the Battle of Manila, the college could only use two rooms for its operations. Until the University High School could resume operations, Sta. Ana private school would be utilized as the college's preparatory school.
On December 10, 1950, the College of Education Building in Diliman would finally be inaugurated.
In 1954, a second laboratory high school with a college preparatory curriculum would be established under the UP System. Named the UP Preparatory High School, the preparatory school would later be attached to the college.
In 1963, the building of the College of Education would be renamed in honor of Dean Francisco Benitez.[3]
