1.1 Background of the problem
It is unfortunate that a vast number of Filipino students are reluctant to understand Philippine history. This may have been brought about by an inadequate background in history and a general tendency on the part of the students to be less conscious of the value of the past to their present life. Or, maybe, such ignorance or apathy may have resulted from the insufficient materials, especially on local history, which is closer to the hearts and minds of the people.

This wish is to provide a cheaper and better education for the ever-increasing number of young students in the community and other neighboring towns and barrios that are in dire need of learning, an important aspect in a man’s life and an indispensable vehicle to success of an individual.
The school started its operation in June 1959, using the old building of Lian High School, located at the center of the poblacion. After a year, the administration constructed a semi-concrete building with eight rooms in its present site. For three consecutive years, the school operated under Temporary Permits.

The Lian Institute started the school year with an enrollment of two hundred and forty-two (242) under Permit No. 185 series of 1960. The teaching staff consisted of eight teachers including the Principal.
