Education in the Philippines during the

Spanish period..

Page 2: History (presentation)

During the Spanish Colonial Period of the Philippines (1565-1898) most of the archipelago underwent a deep cultural, religious transformation from various native Asian cultures and traditions with Islamic or animist religious practices, to a unique hybrid of Southeast Asia and Western culture including the Catholic faith. 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.

Education was still in the early stage of development during the Spanish period. Even by the late 19th century, the Spanish language was still unknown to a great majority. They were literate in their own native dialects. The Spanish aristocracy tried to distinguish themselves from the indios with the use of language and level education.

The Jesuits in manila founded the first college for boys in 1589. It was originally called College of Manila (for scholastics), and later changed to College of San Ignacio. In 1621, it was elevated to the rank of a university by Pope Gregory XV and was named University of san Ignacio. However, this school was closed in 1768 when the Jesuits were expelled from the country. In 1601, the Colegio de san jose also under the Jesuits, was establishes.

The girls were also given special education. Schools were of two kinds:•COLEGIO - a regular school for girls•BEATERIO – a combined school and nunnery

The first college for girls in the Philippines was the College of Santa Potenciana (1594). After the school ceased its operations, the students transferred to College of Santa Isabel, now the oldest existing college for girls in the country. The institution was originally built to care for orphaned Spanish girls. Eventually, it became an exclusive school for the daughters of affluent Spaniards.

In 1621, the Franciscan nuns established the Real Monasterio de Santa Clara (now St. Claire Convent of Manila), the first nunnery in the Philippines.

Primary education consisted of courses in reading, writing, arithmetic, religion; geography, the history of Spain, the Spanish language, vocal music; and agriculture for boys and needle work for girls. The girls were taught basic education, as well as religion, needlework, painting and music.

Academic reforms were later on implemented, after the Spanish government conceded to its growing demand. The Educational Decree, dated December 20, 1863 introduced a system of public education that opened opportunities to Filipinos for higher learning. It ordered the establishment of an educational system consisting of elementary, secondary, and collegiate levels.
