Nurturing Innovative Teachers and Educational Leaders
 Philippine Normal University
T he phrase “normal school” is
traceable to the French “école normale”,
the institution for higher learning in
France in the 18th century.
The present Philippine Normal
University was originally the Philippine
Normal School (PNS), the first institution
of higher learning established during the
American occupation of the Philippines.
Created by Act No. 74 of the Philippine
Commission, it gave Filipinos training in
the science of teaching. The PNS formally
opened on September 1, 1901, with Mr.
Elmer B. Bryan as its first superintendent.
Seven other Americans succeeded him
before the designation of Mr. Manuel
Escarilla as the first Filipino superintendent
in 1939.
With the signing of the charter,
Republic Act No. 416 on June 18, 1949
during the term of President Elpidio
Quirino, PNS was converted into the
PNU Vision

recognized and nationally responsive
teacher education university. As the
established producer of knowledge
