Life and Works of Rizal

Activity 1
Abstraction
By answering the following guide question, write a reflection paper on
Rizal insistence on education as ann essential ingredient in the task of
nation-building.

On the education of the masses, Rizal pleaded for the knowledge of the
adults. Rizal embarked through Isagani:

“We cannot all be doctors, it is necessary that some of us

cultivate the soil. We must follow everyone’s inclination.”

Mass education is, therefore, a must in a free society. Rizal certainly

expressed this idea in the Noli when he said:

“The school is the basis of society, the school is the book in

which is written the future of the nation! Show us the school of
the people, and we shall show you what the people are.”

What do you think is the youth’s role in shaping our future?

The future is uncertain and ambiguous. Future events are out of our
control. But we can somehow change its shape. The condition of the
Philippine economy is currently critical. Due to our country's economic and
financial situation, perhaps other nations undervalued us. However, Rizal
believes that young people can change the future and that they are the
only ones who can make their country succeed by enhancing its reputation.
Young people are able to pick up new skills and adapt to their environment.
In a similar vein, we are willing to pick up new information and use it to
further our goals. Our youth make social reform and societal growth
possible. Without a youthful population, a country cannot survive. Never
give up on your dreams; keep going after them.
