Formerly called | Luzon Science Consortium |
The Philippine Science Consortium (PSC), formerly Luzon Science Consortium, was organized by the founding member institutions namely Central Luzon State University (CLSU), Cagayan State University (CSU), and Isabela State University (ISU), known as CLSU-CSU-ISU Science Consortium, on September 17, 1982. The prime objective of the consortium was to improve science education in Luzon upon the advice of the Science Education Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) under the Institution Building Program (IBP) of then National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) - Science Promotion Institute.
In 1991, Nueva Viscaya State Institute of Technology (NVSIT), Nueva Viscaya State Polytechnic College (NVSPC), and Quirino State College (QSC) joined the consortium. In the same year, the presidents and representatives from the six member institutions formally changed the name to Luzon Science Consortium, also referred to as LSC. The Luzon Science Consortium since then promotes science education among the students and faculty of state universities and colleges in regions I, II, III, and IV in Luzon. With increasing number of members throughout the Philippines, it was changed to Philippine Science Consortium (PSC).[citation needed]
The mission statement of PSC is "With adherence to the PSC Vision, the Philippine Science Consortium shall sustain and maintain quality education in Mathematics, Breeder Sciences and Technology among the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) member as well as other institutions of higher learning in Luzon."
Administration
[edit]The management of the Philippine Science Consortium is vested in the PSC Council headed by an elected chair who serves for one year. The chair is rotated among the presidents of the regular member institutions. The elected vice-chair of the council automatically assumes the chairmanship of the council. In 2012, the National Federated Student Council (NFSC) was created.
