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.
Sultan Kudarat Islamic Academy (SKIA) began as a family-run madrasah in Barrio Bulalo, in the old capital town of Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao. It was registered under MECS Order No. 24, series of 1985. Lawyer Michael O. Mastura, engineer Darwish Al-Gobaishi and religious leader Salah Muhammad Ali Abdula planned it, inspired by the First World Conference on Muslim Education held in Mecca in 1977. The Mastura brothers bought land next to their grandmother's waqf (endowed) properties to form the permanent campus.
The madrasah was incorporated on September 2, 1991 as a non-stock educational foundation. Its first high school students enrolled on June 10, 1991. The school's history gives 2 figures for the first intake: 114 students in one place and 325 students in another. A special science class was added in its second year, with help from the Department of Science and Technology.
In 1992, donors from Abu Dhabi paid for campus improvements and new buildings. The school's history says a teachers' college opened in 1992 and that Mastura, as president, opened the 4-year college in 1993. The first college graduation was held in March 1996. A building for technical-vocational training was put up in 2011 with a Japanese government grassroots grant, and a renovated college building was finished in 2018.
As the crow flies, among the schools pinned where they stand.
