THE city government-owned Talisay City College opened its gates to the new school year with past controversies set aside.

Mayor Johnny V. Delos Reyes adopted the decision of the Board of Trustees to let the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) manage the school. This effectively placed in the sidelines the conflicting claims of Richel Bacaltos, the BOT’s choice for president and Dr. Paulus Cañete, the mayor’s appointee.

CHED Regional Director Freddie Bernal initially took the helm of the school but was later replaced by Dr. Joseph Sol Galleon, the associate dean of Cebu Normal University (CNU) on orders of CHEd chairperson Patricia Licuanan.

Enrollment this school year increased from 2,100 last year to 2,800 students.

City Councilor Richard Francis Aznar, chairman of the committee on education, said the increase in the number of students in the TCC indicates renewed confidence from Talisaynons that the conflict has been resolved.

The higher school population however resulted in classroom shortage. To address this, Mayor Delos Reyes decided to use the Poblacion Sports Complex to house temporary classrooms.

The TCC offers bachelor courses in elementary and secondary education, industrial technology, hotel and restaurant management, and masteral studies.
