RIZAL PPT FOR REPORTING

1. Ateneo
Municipal

2. Rizal was sent by his father to Ateneo Municipal formerly known as
Escuela Pia, for six-year program, Bachiller en Artes. He took the
entrance exam on June 10, 1872, four months after execution of
Gomburza. He followed the advice of his brother, Paciano, to use the
name Jose Rizal instead of Jose Mercado.

3. During this time, Ateneo Municipal was known to offer the best
education for boys. Like colleges in Manila, Ateneo was managed by
priests, but with an important difference in the sense that these
religious were not friars but Jesuit Fathers. Students in Ateneo were
required to attend masses in the morning before the start of classes.
Ateneo was also known for its rigid discipline and religious
instruction that trained student’s character.

4. Students in Ateneo were divided into two groups, the Romans and the
Carthaginians.
The Roman Empire was composed of students boarding at Ateneo while
the Carthaginian Empire was composed of non-boarding students. The
grouping was done to stimulate the spirit of competition among the
students.
At the start, Rizal lagged behind his classmates but because of his
perseverance and seriousness in studies, he became the “emperor,” a
title given to the most outstanding student in class, in just a months’ time.

5. Rizal studied at Ateneo from 1872-1877. In those years, he
consistently showed excellence in his academic
performance. He passed the oral examination on March 14,
1877 and graduated with a degree Bachiller en Artes, with
the highest honors.

6. Rizal was sent by Don Francisco after finishing Bachiller en Artes to the
University of Sto. Tomas. Initially, Doňa Teodora opposed the idea for
fear of what had happened to
Gomburza.
University of Santo Tomas

7. Despite this, Rizal still pursued university education and enrolled in
UST. During his freshman year (1877-1878), he attended the course
Philosophy and Letters. Also in the same year, he took up a
vocational course in Ateneo that gave him the title perito agrimensor
(expert surveyor) issued on November 25, 1881.
In his second year at UST, Rizal shifted his course to Medicine. He
felt the need to take up this course after learning about his mother’s
failing eyesight.

8. Rizal’s academic performance in UST was not as impressive as that
in Ateneo. He was a good student in Medicine but not as gifted as
he was in Arts and letters. Despite this, he was still one of the seven
students who remained in the course in his last year at UST out of
the original batch of twenty-four (Jose, 2011).
In 1882, Rizal and Paciano made a secret pact – Rizal would go to
the Europe to complete his medical studies there and prepare
himself for the great task of liberating the country from Spanish
tyranny.
