Culture and society have a direct influence on educational systems. A society's culture determines the goals and organization of its educational practices. For example, if a culture values material goods, its education will focus on skills for acquiring material comforts. Additionally, education preserves and shapes a society's culture by transmitting values and knowledge between generations. The document discusses how Philippine culture, such as its colonial history and emphasis on community, have impacted the development of its educational system.
