Cebu Technological University
Cebu Technological University (Cebuano: Kinatumhaang Teknolohiko sa Sugbo), abbreviated as CTU and also known as Cebu Tech, is a public, non-sectarian, coeducational, state-funded higher education institution located in Cebu, Philippines. CTU was originally a part of the Philippine public high school system and traces its roots to the Manual Arts department of the Cebu Normal School (now the Cebu Normal University), and was founded independently in 1911 as the Cebu Trade School. In 1928, the institution opened its own campus near the Port of Cebu, where its main campus still stands today.
The university, since its founding in 1911, was also previously known as Cebu Trade School, Cebu School of Arts and Trades, and Cebu State College of Science and Technology, until, in 2009, by the virtue of Republic Act 9744, it was converted into a state university, and assuming the name Cebu Technological University.
The CTU system counts a total of 23 campuses, which consists of one main campus in Cebu City, nine satellite campuses, and 13 extension campuses. As of school year 2019–20, there are 41,395 students enrolled on the 23 CTU campuses located throughout the province of Cebu.
In 2020, CTU became the first university in Cebu to be awarded an overall rating of three stars by global higher education analyst Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Stars team, following CHED's announcement of being one of the grantees of the “Fostering World Class Philippines Universities Project” in July 2019. The following year, in 2022, CTU was ranked in the 651+ bracket of the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Asian University Rankings. In 2022, CTU was given reporter status in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, marking its inclusion to the prestigious list for the first time. Spain-based Cybermetrics Lab also ranks CTU in its Webometrics Ranking of World Universities, placing it 11th in the Philippines in the said ranking.
The university traces its roots way back in 1901, to the Manual Arts department of the Cebu Normal School. When the Cebu Normal School phased out its Secondary Normal Curriculum, the institution became affiliated with the Cebu Provincial High School across the street (now the Abellana National School). It was part of many trade schools that were introduced in the Philippines during the American colonial period, designed to develop technical skills for domestic- as well as commercially viable arts and crafts.
In 1911, Cebu Trade School set up shop as an independent school and employed two American and three Filipino teachers who taught in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades. It eventually produced the first batch of intermediate trade graduates in 1912.
Through Proclamation No. 180, on August 20, 1928, the Cebu Trade School became a separate entity and acquired its present site, along Los Martires Street (now the M.J. Cuenco Avenue), Cebu City, close to the Port of Cebu. The Cebu Trade School Building was built to house the fledgling institution and was constructed near the waterfront, and can be described as a neoclassical structure with each column on its façade topped by a distinct statue representing human symbols of the arts and trades. The building still stands as of the present day, but is in a deep state of neglect, hidden by a concrete perimeter fence and newer buildings in the main campus.
In 1940, the Cebu Trade School was renamed as Cebu School of Arts and Trades (CSAT) by virtue of the operation of Commonwealth Act No. 313. That same year, it offered the two-year technical course for male students.
