About BPC
History of BPC
Legal Basis
Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991 guarantees and promotes the autonomy of local government units and ensures their fullest development as self-reliant communities and effective partners in development and progress.
The code encourages Local Government Units to engage in ventures other than their traditional mandate in pursuance of genuine people empowerment.
The Provincial Government of Bulacan, realizing the potential of its human resource whose literacy rate is already 98% in 1989, endeavored to develop an alternative tertiary institution for the less privileged Bulakeno. The result of these efforts is the Bulacan Polytechnic College (BPC).
Republic Act No. 7796 also known as the Technical Education and Skills development Act of 1994 mandates the development of tertiary education for human resource capability building and encourages private and public sector partnership in developing tertiary education.
The Provincial Government of Bulacan, in a move to further institutionalize the development mission of the BPC, approved its charter on September 29, 1997 by virtue of Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution No. 97-550. This further defined the purpose of providing vocational and technical instruction and training in entrepreneurship and technical education.
