History
What was considered important in each historical period of the
country was also the focus or direction of the education of the Filipino
During the pre-colonial period, students were given vocational training but lesser
academics for them to be good fathers and mothers.
During the Spanish period, schools focused on religious formation to help live
the Christian faith.
The American regime educated the Filipinos to become good citizens of
democratic country while Japanese regime taught the love of labor. The pre-
colonial period educational system was devoted to the following:

Philippine Education.

• Values reflective of a humanist orientation
• Analytical and problem solving skills
• The ability to think things through the ethical and social implication of a given
source of action

live meaningfully in a complex, rapidly changing and globalized world while

The Importance of Studying History of Education

Educational issues and problems are often rooted in the past study of educational
history can help us to understand and solve today’s problem.
Realistic effort to reform education begin with present conditions which are a
product of our past, by using our past , we can shape the future.
The study of education’s past provides a perspective that explains and illuminates
our present activities as teachers.
