-The curriculum comprised industrial courses such as carpentry, English, telegraphy, machine shop work, furniture making, wood carving, boat building, plumbing, blacksmithing, and mechanical and architectural drawing. These courses, offered at the primary school level, catered to adult students seeking vocational skills.
-In 1978, the Philippine College of Advanced Technology (PCAT) was elevated to university status and renamed the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) under Presidential Decree No. 1518.
