Filipino Philosophers in Education

Jose Rizal
“The school is the book in which is written the future of the nations. Shows us the schools of a people and we will tell you what those people are.”

Rizal’s concept of the importance of education is enunciated in his work entitled Instruction wherein he sought improvements in the schools and in the methods of teaching.

For Rizal, the mission of education is to elevate the country to the highest seat of glory and to develop the people’s mentality.
Since Education is the foundation of society and a prerequisite for social progress, Rizal claimed that only through education could the country be saved from domination.
Rizal’s philosophy of education, therefore, centers on the provision of proper motivation in order to bolster the great social forces that make education a success, to create in the youth an innate desire to cultivate his intelligence and give him life eternal.
He believed in the importance of the school as a social organization. According to him, the school must train the citizens in the three phases of life: 1. Moral 2. Intellectual 3. Physical The school should prepare the individual to live efficiently both as individual and as a member of the community to which he belongs.

Dr. Camilo Osias
“School has an important role in the development of dynamic nationalism and internationalism in relation to democracy in the education of the youth.”

“High educational institutions should do more to turn out graduates who can think logically, scientifically and creatively.”

“Our education should instill love for work, spirit of tolerance, respect for law, love for peace and practice of thrift.”

Dr. Osias believed that education should secure for every person the fullest measure of freedom, efficiency, and happiness. Efficiency, he demands that one must be able to cooperate with the other members of the society to promote common good. He also advocated

    I agree in the comments and reactions of the author who wrote regarding the attitude of some students especially the college ones. This article help other people to know what''s really behind the rizal course and rizal law as well. Personally speaking, in my situation as a college student, this article help me to make my understanding be more broad regarding the rizal law and rizal course. But on the other hand, a sad feeling is there because i do admit that some of us really keep on asking the question " why we need to study rizal course?" not knowing that studying this courrse will give us not only the knowledge but also the determination to move forward and be more dedicative students with the chosen fields we are in right now.…

    "Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."…

    Every now and then my parents keep on telling me that my education should be in the number one slot in my list of priorities. They keep on telling me that I should put a great deal on finishing my studies. They say (like every parents say), it is the only thing they could leave to us when they pass away. So, without thinking about it thoroughly, this idea was instilled in my mind right away. But now that we were asked to write our idea about education and relate it with Rizals, this may serve as an opportunity for me to assess and reinforce this thought.…

    Reforming our schools

    • 992 Words

    If we were to rethink the purpose of our schools we would see drastic improvements in the well-roundedness of students as future citizens. As stated above, the current goal is to provide every student with the same base of knowledge. But if our goal is to treat every student the same this allows for no flexibility and for no real relationship to form between the student, the family and the teacher. This lack of real relationship informs an atmosphere that is without a culture of care and essentially communicates that the unique individual is unimportant. However, Laureate Nel Noddings, states that if we were to make the goal of our educational system, to ensure “the healthy emotional, social and moral development of every student” along with a good academic foundation, we would see a change in the type of citizen that is produced as well as how our schools relate to their students (Noddings 23). Many people…

    Jose Rizal was greatly impressed by the fighting spirit that the young women of Malolos had shown. In his letter, he expresses great joy and satisfaction over the battle they had fought. In this portion of Rizal’s letter, it is obvious that his ultimate desire was for women to be offered the same opportunities as those received by men in terms of education. During those days young girls were not sent to school because of the universal notion that they would soon only be taken as wives and stay at home…

    Rizal’s philosophy of education centers on the provision of proper motivation in order to strengthen the great social forces that make education a success, to create in the youth an innate desire to cultivate his intelligence and give him life eternal. In this philosophy, I learned the value of education as a stepping stone towards gaining success for myself and for my country. Since there is an enough motivation to study and explore by wisdom, I made this an encouragement to myself that education shall not only stop within the corners of classrooms but shall also extend until the corners of the world. Rizal’s belief that waking up the innate desire of every Filipino youth to cultivate his intelligence is such a great thing that every individual has to ponder. His philosophy was affirmed by his educational attainment, thus giving a strong support of his educational philosophy and giving him the credibility to talk such path towards educational success.…

    Rizal then continues to analyze the context in which indolence is bred which is also undeniably true nowadays. The crawling struggle towards advancement is still largely attributable to defects in our education and the lack of national sentiment. “The very limited home education, the tyrannical and sterile education in the few educational centers...influences the mind not to excel those who preceded him and merely to be content to follow or walk behind them.” It is vital to improve the quality of education in such a way that we would instil in our minds that we too have inherent qualities of our own that we are capable of using and exploring towards our advancement instead of aspiring to be satisfied…
