Bacolod Tay Tung High School (Chinese: 描戈律大同中學; pinyin: Miáogēlǜ Dàtóng Zhōngxué; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Biâu-ko͘-lu̍t Tāi-tông Tiong-o̍h) is a co-educational Chinese institution in Bacolod City, Philippines. The school is a non-stock, non-profit and non-sectarian institution.
Tay Tung (Chinese: 大同; pinyin: Dàtóng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tāi-tông) means "Equality for all" – whether rich or poor, regardless of race, creed, and religion – was chosen as the name of the school. This concept was greatly emphasized by Confucius and, appropriately, Tay Tung has for its founder's Day the date when he was born: 28 September.[1]
History[edit]
1934-1997[edit]
Sometime in 1934, the Kuo-Min-Tang (Bacolod Chapter), the Negros Occidental Chamber of Commerce, and the Fil-Sino Organization joined in establishing a Chinese school in Bacolod City. Chinese parents and community leaders had long felt the need for an educational institution where the children of the Chinese community could learn not only the rudiments of English studies but also the arts and culture of the land of their ancestors.
TAY TUNG, meaning “equality for all, whether rich or poor, regardless of race, creed, and religion”, was chosen as the name of the school. This noble concept was greatly emphasized by Confucius and, appropriately, Tay Tung has for its Founder’s Day the date when that well-known sage was born on the 28th of September. The office of the Kuo- Min-Tang at Smith Street served as the first location of the school. Due to financial instability during the early years, there was a time when the school was forced to close its operation. Five years later, in 1939, the organizers were able to raise funds with which to buy a 2,645 square lot at Luzuriaga Street. Here, the school building, library and other school facilities were constructed. With improved school facilities, more students enrolled years after. Unfortunately, when the Second World War broke out in the latter part of 1941, the school operation was suspended. After the war in 1945, the school resumed operation subsequently.
In the summer of 1950, the high school curriculum was added to the school offerings, and a two-hectare lot in Libertad Street, the present site of the school, was acquired a year after. The government recognized the school’s educational system circa 1953 to 1955. Then the school offered 6 years of Chinese studies at the Secondary Level. To complete the curriculum, sports and cultural activities were introduced. Circa 1986 to1997, Chinese education was highlighted and speech subjects were added to both High School and Elementary Chinese Curriculum, which prompted the administration to add Saturday morning classes.
2001-2018[edit]
In 2001, the Chiao Kuang Educational Center (2002), the new Pre-school Building (2004) were constructed. The Home Economics offices and classrooms were also renovated. On June 1, 2013, all educational policies and school activities for the full implementation of the K to 12 Enhanced Basic Education of 2013 of Republic Act 10533 were aligned; with the approval and support of the Board of Trustees, the ground for the implementation of the Senior High School curriculum, PAASCU accreditation, and upgrading the school services were prepared. Consequently, Bacolod Tay Tung High School, Inc. was certified by PEAC as GASTPE participating school of which Grade 7 students shall qualify as recipients of this government grant up to Senior High School. In November 2018, the school was granted initial accreditation by the PAASCU.[1]
