The Polytechnic University of the Philippines Open University or the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Center for Distance Learning Education is the nontraditional/distance studies program of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. It is also known as the "Pamantasang Bayan", literally translating to as "Nation's University" in Filipino. It began with the offering of non-degree (technical-vocational) courses in 1970s and was formally established in 1990. Being the first open learning institution in the country, the PUP Open University was established to provide education opportunities to individuals aspiring for higher education and improved qualifications but were unable to take advantage of traditional modes of education because of personal and professional obligations.
