The educational system of the Philippines during the Spanish Colonization were particularly headed by the Church and Friars as the one who leads and teach. The schools were previously exclusive to Spaniards but as time passed things have change and that Filipinos gained the privilege to study in those schools. It is typically segregated into a caste system, where Peninsulares and Insulares had the most privilege, Ilustrados has some privilege, with Indio having the least or even no privilege. It is also separated between genders, where boys and girls learn separately in different schools. The curriculum usually revolves around Christian Doctrines where it is of much focus than other more important subjects of learning and also housekeeping for girls. Not many Filipinos had a chance on taking advantage of education as most have none and can't afford it but as time passed the opportunity for education and the number of Ilustrados grew, many Filipinos then became literate.
The type of education bought by the Spaniards was rooted on the ideology of Catholicism. The Priest acted as educators during that time. Education became the powerful tool in the propagation of Catholicism. Ownership of vast area of land gave the priest the power to dominate and control the education system. Education, serving the Spaniards religious interest, led to the conversion of many Filipinos. Although, there was already a systematic and institutionalized kind of education,there was still no equal opportunity in attaining education. People were also thought that education is one way to achieve social mobility. But education only manifested social inequality and women subordination. Mostly, men were given greater opportunity than women. The Mestizos and wealthy people were the only privileged ones to enter prestigious schools. On the other hand, women were thought only in vocational schools. But, most women were denied of their rights to education in the patriarchal belief that women should only stay at home.
During the Spanish Colonization, the Spaniards’ system in education was formal. They established schools that focus on Christian Doctrine. They have separate schools for boys and girls. First they are not accepting Filipino students but as time goes by they allowed Filipinos to go their schools.
During the Spanish Colonial Period of the Philippines (1565-1898), most of its territory underwent a deep cultural, religious and linguistic transformation from Asian cultural influences and Islamic and animist religions to Westernized values and Catholic Christian practices.
Spanish education played a major role in that transformation. The oldest universities, colleges, vocational schools and the first modern public education system in Asia were created during the colonial period, and by the time Spain was replaced by the United States as the colonial power, Filipinos were among the most educated subjects in all of Asia.
During those days spaniards establishments focuses on Christian Doctrine that they use as a power tool in the propagation of Catholicism
The educational system of the Philippines during the Spanish Colonization can be said not free for everyone who like to learn. Much discrimination took place against the early Filipinos by the Spanish priests, who were the early educators of Filipinos. Racial discrimination can be observed as we study the life of Dr. Rizal. Filipinos were educated not in favor of them, but rather of Spain who colonized the Philippines. Spanish languages were taught, ignoring the native language. Catholicism spread in the country during theses times, where Roman Catholicism was included in their curriculum. Only those Filipinos belonging to the middle class and up were given the opportunity to study in the schools established by the friars. As they went along the now old prestigious schools, unequal treatment were given between the mestizos and dark Filipinos or the Indios.
During the early years of Spanish colonization, education was mostly religion-oriented and controlled by the Roman Catholic Church. Spanish friars and missionaries educated the natives through religion with the aim of converting indigenous populations to the Catholic faith. King Philip II's Leyes de Indias (Laws of the Indies) mandated Spanish authorities in the Philippines to educate the natives, to teach them how to read and write and to learn Spanish. However, the latter objective was well-nigh impossible given the realities of the time. The early friars learned the local languages and the Baybayin script to better communicate with the locals. Although by royal decree the friars were required to teach the Spanish language to the natives, they reasoned that it would be easier for them to learn the local languages first than trying to teach Spanish to all the population. The Spanish missionaries established schools immediately on reaching the islands and wherever they penetrated, church and school went together. There was no Christian village without its school and all young people attended. The Augustinians opened a school immediately upon arriving in Cebú in 1565. The Franciscans arrived in 1577, and they, too, immediately taught the people how to read and write, besides imparting to them important industrial and agricultural techniques. The Jesuits who arrived in 1581 also concentrated on teaching the young. When the Dominicans arrived in 1587, they did the same thing in their first mission in Bataan. Within months of their arrival in Tigbauan which is located in the island of Panay, Pedro Chirino and Francisco Martín had established a school for Visayan boys in 1593 in which they taught not only the catechism but reading, writing, Spanish, and liturgical music. The Spaniards of Arévalo heard of the school and wanted Chirino to teach their boys too. Chirino at once put up a dormitory and school house (1593–1594) for the Spanish boys near his rectory. It was the first Jesuit boarding school to be established in the Philippines.
During the Spanish era, the main focus of the educational system in the Philippines is Catholicism. Schools, colleges, and seminaries were controlled and operated by the Religious Orders or Spanish priests. The Filipinos were given an unfair treatment beacuse all the things being taught to them are religious teachings. Only the Spaniards had the privelege to take practical courses. The teachers in the schools were priests who teach in Filipino language. They don't teach in Spanish language because they do not want the Filipinos to be more superior to them.
In my analysis, there are no education during the pre-spanish colonization, then during the spaniards came to the Philippines they create market, entertainment, religion, and education but these things are not spread across the whole country and these needs alot of funds that is why only wealthy people are those who can afford schools and ordinary Filipinos are the uneducated of the society.
Then here comes the Americans after the Spandiards, they introduces the public schools which the Spaniards lacks due to insufficient funds.
Under the Spaniards, Religious Orders were the ones who established schools, colleges, universities, institutions, seminaries in the Philippines. Most of the establish schools hold on to the teaching of Christianity. Education became the best tool in the transmission of Catholicism that time.
Priests acted as educators, ownership of huge area of land gave the priests the power to manage and govern the educational system. Also, Feudal mode of production was the economic basis of education simply because the feudal lords or landlords controlled many schools and institutions. Education, serving the Spaniards religious interest, led to the adaptation of many Filipinos.
There was still no equal opportunity in attaining education, although, there was already a regular kind of educating people. Filipinos were taught that education is one way to adopt with their society, on how the social system works. People were also oriented to religious and patriarchal system of education. But education only results to discrimination and unfairness within the society. Only the White Spaniards and rich people were the only fortunate ones to enter prestigious schools. On the other hand, women were refused of their rights to educate themselves due to the patriarchal belief that women should only stay at home doing some household chores such as cooking, cleaning the house, washing the dishes, etc. Above all, men are given great opportunity than women.
The Spanish Colonization influence Filipinos to embrace the Roman Catholic Religion more, with the institution that Spaniards established. Filipinos conviction on what happening to the country evolve from this treatment, with this educational system of Spain the resolve of Filipinos evolved into compact,dynamic and progressive mindset for the future. During this era discrimination and tyrant gazes plunder each Filipino, but with this torment Filipinos become more literate and nationalism have been awakened.
The educational system of Filipinos at that time is ruled/run by Spanish priest. They act as educators to Filipinos and to their fellow Spaniards. The center of the education at that time focus on Catholicism that's why now a days some schools were run by priest/nuns. Spanish priest as educators didn't treat Filipinos equally because they have lesser opportunities than the insulares/peninsulares. Not all are given a chance to study because most of the students are men and they believe that women should stay at home. At last,Americans arrived and introduce public schools to Filipinos to equally distribute education in the Philippines.
