APARRI POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE

INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2017-2021)

Executive Summary
Since its inception, Aparri Polytechnic Institute is the only operating TESDA
Technology Institution in the First Congressional District of Cagayan catering to its
ten municipalities which are Aparri, Camalaniugan, Lallo, Gattaran, Baggao, Alcala,
Buguey, Gonzaga, Sta. Ana and Sta. Teresita including the nearby municipalities of
the Second and Third Congressional Districts. Locals do not need to go anymore to
Tuguegarao City or even to Manila for technical education and training.

Because of the valuable tradition and culture that could be witnessed at API,
the vision that we project five years from now could also easily be attained for in the
journey for mission, everything will probably be worked fine.

The five year development plan aims to provide quality training and services
to its constituents and stakeholders both for local and international market. In order
for API to uplift the living condition of the people it serves, job seekers have better
chances to get employed when they are equipped with the necessary work
competencies contained in the certificate which TESDA issues to certified graduate-
workers in the different qualifications.

Over the years, TESDA-API has been keeping its commitment to national
economic and development goals through TVET and the Institute will always commit
to produce graduates who will cater to the market needs locally and even abroad.
These graduates contribute to nation building by lessening the woes of
unemployment.

Hence, the Institute, though it is established as training ground for future

competent workforce, is still in need of further development and this gives light for
this plan to be written up.

Introduction:

The TESDA-Aparri Polytechnic Institute is sited at Rizal Street Maura Aparri,

Cagayan and it is approximately 100 meters away from the brink of the town proper
or 200 meters away from the town capital.

This Training Institution was first created in 1928 by R.A. No. 948 as Aparri
Vocational High School (AVHS). As its name suggests, AVHS concentrated
on secondary education with elective vocational subjects. On June 22, 1963, R.A.
3732 converted the Aparri Vocational High School into Aparri School of Arts and
Trades (ASAT) maintaining the same curriculum. ASAT, in the 1970s, started to offer
Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology with different major subjects/areas and
two-year Technical Courses aside from its regular Trade Secondary Education
Program. In 1978, P.D. 1436 caused the transfer of ASAT’s BSIT courses, its two-
year Technical Education Program, staff and facilities to the Cagayan State
University-Aparri due to the emergence of the University System. As a result, ASAT
in 1986 worked out its assessment and accreditation to offer Basic Secondary
Education and two-year Technical-Vocational Education and Training courses.

Then came the creation into law of the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA) on August 25, 1994 by R.A. 7796 or TESDA Act 0f
1994. ASAT again faced another challenge when it was included in the list of Tech-
Voc Schools in Region 02 to be absorbed by TESDA on March 21, 1997. The forging
of Memorandum of Agreement between the DECS and TESDA, on August 24, 2000
caused the transfer of schools with predominantly Post-Secondary Education
enrolment including qualified employees and their proportionate share of the budget
and other assets to TESDA. Both DECS and TESDA used the school name ASAT
which caused so much confusion to visitors, would-be-enrolees, and even in the
delivery of correspondences and other printed materials. Thanks to the combined
effort of the Houses of Representatives and the Senate that they spent time to
deliberate on the pros and cons of giving TESDA-ASAT a new name. Thus, on
October 18, 2012 President Benigno Aquino III signed R.A. No. 10227 to change the
name of TESDA-Aparri School of Arts and Trades into Aparri Polytechnic Institute.

The Institute is funded by the national government alongside with its own
Income Generating Projects (IGPs) and it is equally worthwhile to mention that the
land is owned by the Institute.

At present, the Institute has its new profile and it is offering different
qualifications as presented below

SWOT Analysis
Elements Helpful
Internal Strengths
 Right qualification of people (as to
QS of CSC and PTTQF) hired for
the position
 Highly trained and competent pool of
professionals/trainers
 Willingness, dedication and
commitment to work of personnel
 Multi-skilled and highly-motivated
faculty and personnel
 Provision of free tertiary education
(UAQTEA)
 Organizational Connection/Linkages
(with LGUs, NGOs, industry partners
and other stakeholders)
 Training facilities (compliant); all
programs are UTPRAS registered
 Institutional independence (in terms
of GAA, separate budget)
 Relevant and responsive curricular
offerings
External Opportunities
 The institution is the lone public
post-secondary TECHVOC school in
the district
 Strategic location (accessibility of
transportation and communication)
 Increasing awareness on TESDA
programs and widening acceptance
of technical vocational courses
 Strong LGU support of TVET
program
 Job opportunities for graduates
 Avail of TESDA CO support
 A huge number of OSY in the
service area that could avail TVET
programs
 Big population of HS graduates
(means sufficient enrolees)
 Presence of Cagayan Economic
Zone Authority
4
Harmful
Weaknesses
 Limited plantilla items for
instructors (especially those
who will handle diploma
programs)
 No funds for Capital and
Equipment Outlay to fund
Infrastructure to
accommodate growing
students’ enrolment
 Limited funds for MOOE
(Not allowed to collect fees
to support training cost)
 Limited skills
upgrading/industry
immersion for trainers
 Training facilities and
equipment (old)
Threats
 Changes in political
leadership would affect
continuity support for
programs
 Existence of established
SUC’s
 Students’ preference for
degree courses (target
group may have little/low
interest in TVET programs)
 Fast-changing technology
 Unacceptable weather
condition
 Sea water corrosion
