MANUEL QUEZON’S PHILOSOPHY OF PHILIPPINE EDUCATION

Quezon’s philosophy of Philippine Education is basically local or Philippine in orientation, a reflection of the need of colonial people to upgrade themselves

Intellectually Morally Economically trough education

QUEZON’S EDUCATIONAL VIEWS BEGAN:

Aims of Philippine Education

2 Objectives for better citizenship As a means of livelihood

EDUCATION FOR BETTER CITIZENSHIP

The state is therefore duty bound to mould spirit of the youth in patriotism and self sacrifice with can be done through education.

Public or even private schools must constantly instil in the minds and hearts of their students their duty to defend the nation in time of war and to be useful and law –abiding citizens in time of peace.

EDUCATION FOR BETTER CITIZENSHIP

free public primary education and citizenship training for adults

develop their talents since the government could create for them a large number of scholarships

“the true worth of a man is measured not only by a diploma but by his proficiency in his chosen line of work” - Quezon

EDUCATION FOR BETTER CITIZENSHIP

Poor – should be satisfied with vocational education.

Intellectually-gifted – should have ambition to follow a college or universities.

For Quezon, the diploma is simply a stepping stone towards various paths of progress.

Philippine soldiers should also be given vocational training to make them economically self-sufficient.

DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP

A worthy citizen first learns his duties before speaking his demands the citizen must be a defender of its state and be a model of oneself be abiding the law

The citizen and government works together to maintain peace and order in the country

A women is not a slave and granted the right to vote, for it was their duty also to choose a leader that would lead their country well.

A NATIONAL SOUL A nation’s soul was its language because a

genuine national pride is anchored on one’s native language.

The adoption of Tagalog as the basis for the Philippine national language since it was the most developed of all existing language in the country and most widely spoken language in his time.

Tagalog, let subcultures understand each other

BUILDING THE FILIPINO CHARACTER

“A nation is nothing more nor less than its citzenry” Quezon

A nation strength is not wealth but the happiness or welfare of the common man.

A nation is strong “when every citizen recognizes the rights of his fellowmen, and in turn makes in fellowmen recognize his own rights”

EASY GOING PARASITISM Filipino deserves personal gain, personal interest

and they don’t value perseverance and other attitudes that would help them build the character and to improve their selves.

Self Inefficiency (Quezon) Filipinos rely on government, that the government

will give them everything, but not the Filipinos didn’t realize that they must work for their self and not to defend on government, work hard and be dignified on what ever field of career you have.

NATIONAL SPIRITUAL RECONSTRUCTION

To meet these societal weaknesses and remedy the deterioration of the race, Quezon felt the need for the national spiritual reconstruction.

Make a social code, a code for ethics, personal conduct that should be adopted.

The code must be some kind of a written Bushido that “can be explained in the schools, preached from the pulpits, and taught in the streets and plazas, and in the remotest corners of our land”

NATIONAL SPIRITUAL RECONSTRUCTION

And his code is incorporated in Executive Order No. 217
