Education
Naawan is home to the Mindanao State University at Naawan campus, a unit of the Mindanao State University System. MSU-Naawan emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as a scientific field laboratory of the university's Main Campus in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur. It was eventually upgraded as a research arm, and in 1981, with the participation of Mindanao State University's College of Fisheries, the School of Marine Fisheries Technology was formally inaugurated, graduating its first batch of university graduates in 1985. It took the name MSU-Institute of Fisheries Research & Development and directly supervised the 'original' Naawan High School (later called MSU-Naawan Fisheries High School and now known as MSU-N Integrated Developmental School) as an autonomous external campus and distinct unit of the University System.
The Naawan Central School etched a mark in the national scene when its children's choir won the top prize in NAMCYA Children's Choir Finals at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 1987[12]
