Not on the Department of Education’s list: it is here as OpenStreetMap names and maps it. Whether it is public or private is taken from OpenStreetMap or from its name. Something wrong?
Where OpenStreetMap has a school of this name in this town.
MSU-Maguindanao started as MSU Dinaig Agricultural and Technical College (MSU-DATC). The MSU Board of Regents created it on October 10, 1973, through Resolution No. 821. Dinaig was the old name of the town now called Datu Odin Sinsuat. The town was renamed in 1994 under Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 29.
The campus opened in 1973 with 7 faculty members, 15 administrative staff and 126 students. It offered only 3 courses: Agriculture, Forestry and Community Development. Classes were first held at the grandstand of the Dalican Pilot Elementary School.
In 1975 a fire destroyed all of the school's facilities. Datu Odin Sinsuat, then mayor of Dinaig, donated part of his 55-hectare property and sold the school another part, and that land is the present campus in Barangay Dalican. In 1982 the Board of Regents gave the campus fiscal autonomy and renamed it MSU-Maguindanao (Resolution No. 561). It is one of the autonomous campuses of the MSU System.
As the crow flies, among the schools pinned where they stand.
