This is a list of educational institutions in the Philippines arranged according to the dates of their foundation. It comprises the list of the oldest schools in the Philippines sorted in various categories, and gives an overview of the development of education and higher learning in the Philippines. To be included in this list, an institution must satisfy a traditional definition of a formal educational institution at the time of its founding.

The Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas, established by the Dominican missionaries in 1611 and raised to the rank of a University in 1645 by Pope Innocent X through the petition of Philip IV of Spain, is currently the educational institution with the oldest extant University charter in Asia.[1][2]

The oldest universities, colleges, vocational schools and the first modern public education system in Asia were created during the Spanish colonial period. The earliest schools were founded by Spanish Catholic missionaries. By the time Spain was replaced by the United States as the colonial power, Filipinos were among the most educated subjects in all of Asia.[3]

Dispute over the oldest school edit

Main article: Dispute over the oldest school in the Philippines

The title of the oldest in the Philippines have been topic for debate between two educational institutions: the University of Santo Tomas and the University of San Carlos.[4]

The University of Santo Tomas, established in 1611 as the Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Santisimo Rosario, is the oldest university in the Philippines. In 1935 the Commonwealth government of the Philippines through the Historical Research and Markers Committee declared that UST was "oldest university under the American flag."[5] In the 1990s, the Intramuros Administration installed a marker on the original site of the University of Santo Tomas with the recognition that the university is the "oldest university in Asia."[6] In 2011 Pope Benedict XVI recognized UST as "the oldest institution of Catholic higher education in the Far East,"[7] while in 2012 the National Historical Commission of the Philippines published an online article recognizing UST as "Asia’s Oldest University".[8]

However, University of San Carlos has opposed this recognition and claims that it is older than the University of Santo Tomas by 16 years by tracing its roots to the Colegio de San Ildefonso (established 1595).[9] In 1995, University of San Carlos celebrated its Quadricentennial (400th Anniversary).[10]

UST as Asia's Oldest University edit

Numerous scholars and official government bodies have reviewed the case. In 2010, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines installed a bronze marker declaring USC's foundation late in the 18th Century, effectively disproving any direct connection with the Colegio de San Ildefonso.[11] According to Dr. Victor Torres of the De La Salle University, the University of San Carlos' claim dates back to 1948 only when USC was declared a university.[10] Fidel Villarroel from the University of Santo Tomas argued that USC only took over the facility of the former Colegio de San Ildefonso and that there is no 'visible' and 'clear' link between San Carlos and San Ildefonso.[12] Aloysius Cartagenas (a Cebuano), in a paper published by Philippiniana Sacra, stated that the correct foundation year of USC is 1867, and not 1595,[13] while in 2012 the National Historical Commission of the Philippines cemented its previous position when it published an online article recognizing UST as "Asia’s Oldest University.[8]

two educational institutions the University of Santo Tomas and the University of San Carlos 4 The University of Santo Tomas established in 1611 as the Colegio de Nuestra Senora del Santisimo Rosario is the oldest university in the Philippines In 1935 the Commonwealth government of the Philippines through the Historical Research and Markers Committee declared that UST was oldest university under the American flag 5 In the 1990s the Intramuros Administration installed a marker on the original site of the University of Santo Tomas with the recognition that the university is the oldest university in Asia 6 In 2011 Pope Benedict XVI recognized UST as the oldest institution of Catholic higher education in the Far East 7 while in 2012 the National Historical Commission of the Philippines published an online article recognizing UST as Asia s Oldest University 8 However University of San Carlos has opposed this recognition and claims that it is older than the University of Santo Tomas by 16 years by tracing its roots to the Colegio de San Ildefonso established 1595 9 In 1995 University of San Carlos celebrated its Quadricentennial 400th Anniversary 10 UST as Asia s Oldest University editNumerous scholars and official government bodies have reviewed the case In 2010 the National Historical Commission of the Philippines installed a bronze marker declaring USC s foundation late in the 18th Century effectively disproving any direct connection with the Colegio de San Ildefonso 11 According to Dr Victor Torres of the De La Salle University the University of San Carlos claim dates back to 1948 only when USC was declared a university 10 Fidel Villarroel from the University of Santo Tomas argued that USC only took over the facility of the former Colegio de San Ildefonso and that there is no visible and clear link between San Carlos and San Ildefonso 12 Aloysius Cartagenas a Cebuano in a paper published by Philippiniana Sacra stated that the correct foundation year of USC is 1867 and not 1595 13 while in 2012 the National Historical Commission of the Philippines cemented its previous position when it published an online article recognizing UST as
