TABUK, Kalinga – Kalinga-Apayao State College (KASC) is expanding its curriculum as it opens this June by having an Institute of Laws. Enrolment starts May 16.
According to KASC president Eduardo Bagtang, the overall goal in opening a law school at KASC is to prepare and train young professionals in the practice of law in response to the growing number of cases in the province.
The faculty has already been organized and a seminar had been scheduled on May 25 to orient instructors on the new curriculum. “Instructors will come from lawyers in the province and with non-lawyers who will be teaching other subjects that do not need to be a legal personality.”
Bagtang said he wants the premiere state college a venue of discussions on how the justice system in Kalinga, which dispenses justice through customary practices, could effectively and efficiently work.
The proposed tuition fee per unit is P300. Retired college instructor and former board member Atty. Eduardo Buliyat, has been appointed Dean of the College of Laws. He taught at the Baguio Colleges Foundation now University of the Cordilleras for 20 years, Philippine Military Academy, and the University of Baguio.
Bagtang and Buliyat are optimistic there would be a lot of interested students to take up law at the KASC Institute of Laws. (JDP/PAB – PIA CAR,Kalinga)
