The Council of Economics Educators (CECON) was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1997 but conceptualized as early as 1996 with Dr. Ruben Nayve Jr, Department Chair, School of Commerce of St. Scholastica’s College (SSC) as the Founding President. Among the pioneering member schools aside from SSC include University of Santo Tomas, Colegio San Juan de Letran and San Beda College.

CECON was formed in order to provide the needs of faculty teaching Economics in both secondary and tertiary levels through the enhancement of their pedagogical skills by attending seminars, workshops, trainings, fora and related activities. Being a partner-institution of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of Education (Deped), Philippine Council of Deans and Educators in Business (PCDEB) and other professional and industry associations, CECON has been in the forefront of providing its member and non-member schools relevant seminars, workshops, trainings, for the past years since its inceptions in 1997.
