Historical Background
In 1963, the Graduate School of Education, Arts and Science (GSEAS) was established as a response to the need for updating secondary education in the country. GSEAS began to focus on tertiary education, and in 1976 it implemented a program for science teachers in the collegiate level. In 1980, GSEAS offered the first PhD program in Counseling Psychology in the country, and a PhD program in Science Education. By 1982, it also implemented a doctoral program in Educational Management, and later a Doctor of Arts in Language and Literature. When the GSEAS was dissolved, the La Salle Teacher Training Center was created to strengthen the existing education programs. In 1987, the Center became the La Salle School of Education, which was elevated to college status three years later.

“We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
