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.
Basilan State College began in 1966 as the UP Land Grant High School in Sta. Clara, Lamitan, on land from the University of the Philippines land grant. It opened with 2 first-year and 2 second-year classes, 120 students in all. In 1976 it became UP Sta. Clara Barangay High School, and in 1978 Presidential Decree 1303 renamed it Basilan National Agro-Industrial School.
Batas Pambansa Blg. 363 turned the school into Basilan National Agro-Industrial College in 1983. After former MNLF leader Gerry A. Salapuddin asked for a state college in Basilan, President Ferdinand Marcos issued Presidential Decree 1943, which renamed and converted it into Basilan State College. The college calls Salapuddin the "Father of Basilan State College". After the conversion it set up a main campus in Sumagdang, Isabela City, and extension sites in Maluso and Lamitan.
Republic Act 11554, approved on June 24, 2021, turned the college, including its extension campuses in Maluso, Tipo-Tipo, Lamitan and Isabela, into Basilan State University. Its main campus stays in Barangay Sumagdang, Isabela City. In October 2026 news outlets reported that the school had formally become a university.
As the crow flies, among the schools pinned where they stand.
