independence in 1946, the country’s
education system was patterned after
the educational systems of Spain and
the United States.

education was inculcated moral and
religious values. Religion was the core
curriculum, and the schools were used to
spread Christianity. It mainly served the
upper classes; thus, education
symbolized “social standing and
prestige.” The educated class consisted
mostly of ilustrados.

patterns that would prepare the nation for

25. Functions of Education in the Society
As British sociologist Herbert Spencer
explains, functions are important to be
performed as they make the society whole. If
each function is working well, society attains
progress.

Education systems enable citizens to be productive
members of a society, as they are equipped with
knowledge and skills that could contribute to the
development of their society’s systems and institutions.
This highlights the importance of formal and non-formal
education in the development of oneself and the
society. Consequentially, it is crucial for educational
systems to adapt to the changing demands of the
environment to efficiently capacitate individuals.

27. 2. Self-actualization
Education develops one’s sense of self. As a
huge part of the discovery process of oneself,
education encourages having the vision to
become self-actualized. Moreover, it enables
one to see your strengths and maintain them. It
enables one to determine weakness and adjust
to them. This helps one reach full potential and
establish oneself as a whole.

30. Primary Education as a Human Right
Primary education is essential in the early stages of
human life. Humans need education to enable them to
adapt to the dictates of their society. The United
Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) declare that education is a
fundamental human right and essential for the exercise
of all other human rights. It promotes individual
freedom and empowerment and yields important
development benefits.
