Sultan Kudarat State University

The Sultan Kudarat State University (SKSU) formerly Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College (SKPSC) was established on December 5, 1990, by virtue of a bill authored in Congress by then Cong. Estanislao V. Valdez and sponsored in the Senate by then Sen. Edgardo J. Angara. The bill became Republic Act 6973, otherwise known as the Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College (SKPSC) Charter, which merged five (5) previously DECS- supervised High Schools in five (5) municipalities of the province, namely; the Sultan Kudarat National High School in Isulan, the Lutayan National Agricultural School in Lutayan, the Tacurong Municipal High School in what is now Tacurong City, the Kalamansig Municipal High school in Kalamansig and the Palimbang Municipal High School in Palimbang. Its central site and main office is in SKSU – ACCESS, EJC Montilla, Tacurong City. The Institution started under the visionary and dynamic leadership of its first and longest-serving President, Dr. Nelson T. Binag, who, later, also initiated the operation of extension programs in the municipalities of Sen. Ninoy Aquino and Bagumbayan in Sultan Kudarat and in Glan, Sarangani Province through a Memorandum of Agreement with the Local Government Units and Surallah in South Cotabato with Surallah National Agricultural School.
