Similarities and Differences

Education
In the past education in the Philippines, The elementary level kids were
taught Christian doctrines, how to read Spanish literature and a small bit of the
native tongue due to the limited curriculum. Even at universities, students were not
given a lot of instruction in science and mathematics. Together with teaching the
pupils Christian doctrines, Latin was substituted for Spanish in the classroom. The
other issue is Poor classroom facilities, Absence of teaching materials, Primary
education neglected Lack of academic freedom, The Spanish educational system
extended its lack of academic freedom to the schools that Spaniards founded in the
Philippines. Discrimination against Filipinos in Universities Only Spanish students
received preferential treatment at universities during the Spanish government. The
so-called Filipino education served only as a way for colonists to stay in the
Philippines. As a result, the Filipinos adopted the Spanish way of life in their own
nation. Even well-off Filipinos formed ties with each other to the point that their
lifestyles were heavily influenced by the Spanish. The educational system was under
the jurisdiction of the friars throughout the Spanish era. During the Spanish era, the
friars had complete authority over the educational system. They owned a variety of
educational institutions, from basic to tertiary levels. The responsibility for instructing,
supervising, and upholding the norms and restrictions established on the students
fell to the missionaries.

The present Education in the Philippines is now offered through public and
private schools, colleges, universities, and institutes of higher learning as well as
technical and vocational training. Public education is funded by the federal
government. Around 83% of K–12 pupils attended public schools during the 2017–18
academic year, while 17% either attended private schools or were
homeschooled.Each educational level is managed by three government
organizations. At the basic education level, the Department of Education (DepEd)
sets overall educational standards and mandates standardized tests for the K–12
basic education system, although private schools are generally free to determine
their own curriculum in accordance with existing laws and Department regulations. At
the higher education level, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) supervises
and regulates colleges and universities. Meanwhile, the Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA) regulates and accredits technical and
vocational education programs and institutions in the country.

The similarity is that their education system is weak, they are weak in the classroom
and teaching method, while their differences are in the 19th century in the
Philippines the educational system was under the jurisdiction of the friars throughout
the Spanish era and The elementary level kids were taught Christian doctrines, how
to read Spanish literature and a small bit of the native tongue due to the limited
curriculum and only Spanish students are accepted at the university while in the
present the teachers are pure Pinoys, they focus on the preservation of culture and
no discrimination allowed in school and anyone can study or have the freedom to
study even if it is until college.
My findings are not everyone in the 19th century there was no freedom to have an
education and you had to have the ability to study during the Spanish era. My
observation is in the 19th century the freedom to have an education or right to
education is being invoked there are still a few who have been able to study but that
is only with the ability like Dr. Jose Rizal because his family is in the middle class. My
analyzation the situation of our fellow Filipinos in the 19th century is sad, they lost
the right to study and if your family is not a middle class you cannot study.
