Animal Production (Ruminants) NC II Graduates, TEAM DUSLA!

The Team D.U.S.L.A. which stands for (Discipline, Unity, Sincerity, and Love for Animals) are some positive values that develop once a trainee completed the training of Animal Production (Ruminants) NC II. Because in TESDA - Wangan National Agricultural School, we embraced the concept of a fun-learning environment whilst developing the soft skills and camaraderie of each trainee.

Let's watch their Audio-Visual Presentation on their various farm and community activities!

WNAS BRIEF HISTORY

The School started in June 1976 as Wangan Barangay High School through the effort of the elementary principal later Eriberto O. Macasa and massive support of the people in the community and nearby barangays. There were only three (3) teachers at that time whose salary was shouldered by the barangay council and PTA. The secondary education was successfully implemented until a bill passed in the defunct Batasang Pambansa last May 4, 1982, the Batas Pambansa blg. 138 (sponsored by honorable assemblywoman Felicidad Santos) an act converting Wangan Barangay High School into an Agricultural Education Institution namely Wangan National Agricultural School. WNAS continue to operate secondary education but when Republic Act No. 7796 (TESDA LAW) has been approved, it changes the operation of the school. With that act, dual education program occurs in WNAS (secondary and post secondary education.).

Post-Secondary Education Program started last June 1998 under the supervision of TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) while secondary education is still under the supervision of DECS (Department of Education, Culture and Sports). WNAS is the only TESDA Supervised Government school in Agricultural Technology speciliazing Cut Flower Production. With the effort of the Vocational School Administrator Mr. Jesus A. Adriasola there were already five (5) courses offered on its second year of operation duly UPTRAS registered. A 2-year course in Agricultural Mechanics, Animal Production Technology, Food Processing Technology and Floriculture Technology. Upon retirement of Mr. Jesus A. Adriasola, WNAS was administered by Mr. Rodolfo A. Odoya coming from PTC Davao. It was at his administration that Income Generating Project was strengthened and the curriculum is competency-based. Aside from those courses offered, it also conducted Community Extension Programs like Community-Based Training and Entrepreneurship Development (CBTED) and Community Based Training Program (CBTP) to the Community of Wangan and nearby barangays.

At present, the school is on Competency-Based-Training mode of delivery wherein 14 registered TR-based qualification and 14 Assessments Centers. Mr. Felipe C. Hiquial, Jr. is now the current Vocational School Administrator of this institution.
