The life of Dr. Jose Rizal is a compelling account of a man's quest for self-knowledge,
nationalism, and sacrifice. Rizal's life and works have galvanized many generations to fight for
their rights and independence as writers, philosophers, and revolutionary leaders.
The worth of schooling is among the most crucial lessons we can understand from Rizal's life. A
superb intellectual, Rizal thought that the path to enlightenment and freedom rested in education.
He was devoted to his studies, which led to his receiving many degrees from top universities
across Europe. Rizal inspired his fellow Filipinos to value education as a way to empower
themselves and free themselves from colonialism through his writings and teachings.
