 Introduction to Rizal’s Education
This chapter explores how Jose Rizal's education played a crucial
role in his intellectual growth, his sense of national identity, and
his hunger for justice and equality.
It begins with his early education in Calamba, where under private
tutors who took over from his mother, Teodora Alonso, his first
teacher.
Rizal's academic journey took him to the Ateneo Municipal de
Manila and to the University of Santo Tomas, where the
contrasting educational systems further nurtured Rizal's
intellectual curiosity and broadened his understanding of social
justice and nationalism. His educational exploits in higher
education also awakened him to the realities of colonialism.
 Introduction to Rizal’s Education
The chapter highlights how education can nurture critical
thinking, national identity, and a strong commitment to social
transformation. It also shows the influence of religion and the
religious orders inside and outside the classroom.
Through an exploration of Rizal's educational background, this
chapter deepens our understanding of education's indelible
impact on leaders, how it can shape their character, and how it
can inspire Filipinos to strive for progress and uphold the values
of justice and national pride.

the lessons and eventually outperformed his maestro's
brightest students, He had an excellent academic
performance even compared to his older classmates.
Eventually, after one and a half years in Biñan, Jose had
already learned everything that his teacher knew. Thus,
Maestro Justiniano recommended that Rizal continue his
education in Manila.

Jose was the first of his family to adopt surname
"Rizal".
 Rizal's Enter the Ateneo

The instructional method in Ateneo was more

advanced compared to other schools. The
discipline was rigid and its methods less
mechanical, introduced physical culture a part
of its program as well as the cultivation of the
arts, such as music, drawing, and painting. It
also established vocational cour in agriculture,
commerce, and mechanics.
 Rizal's Enter the Ateneo
Rizal's involvement in several student
organizations showcased his natural leadership
abilities. He actively participated and occupied
multiple positions such as chairman and
spokesman. In addition, Rizal also joined four
exclusive societies the Academy of Spanish
Literature, the Academy of Natural Science, the
Marian Congregation Sodality of Our Lady, and
the Apostle of Friendship.
 Rizal's Words as a student in Ateneo
I entered college still a child with very little knowledge of
Spanish, with a moderately developed mind, and almost without
refined sentiments. By force of study, of analyzing myself, of
aspiring higher, of a thousand corrections, I was little by little
transformed thanks to the beneficent influence of a zealous
professor. My morality at that time makes me now sigh on
remembering that state of sweetest tranquility of my spirit. By
cultivating poetry and rhetoric my sentiments were further
elevated and Virgil, Horace, Cicero, and other authors showed
me another road through which I could walk to attain my
aspiration.
 Dr. Jose Rizal's Academic
Performance at ateneo (1872-1877)
Rizal graduated at Ateneo in 1877, earning his Bachiller en Artes (Bachelor of
Arts) diploma. He had distinguished himself as one of the top students in his
class, being recognized as sobresaliente or outstanding among his peers."

Santo Tomas
in
 Rizal's Enter Santo Tomas
Rizal was at the age of 16 after he completed his
studies in Ateneo, his mother again opposed the
idea of him returning to Manila but Rizal still
enrolled in a philosophy and letters course at
UST.
He had a mark of excellence at first year but he
was only granted the license in 1881.
Rizal noticed the stark contrast between Spanish
Jesuits and Spanish Dominicans in handling
native students.
 Rizal's Enter Santo Tomas
The Spanish Jesuits treated the students with care and
respect regardless of their racial status. In his own
hometown of Calamba, he experienced the humiliation
of being whipped of moonless night for failing to salute
a lieutenant of the Guardia Civil.
Rizal was never humiliated in this way, he greatly
disapproved of how they treat his countrymen by the
professor's abusive behavior.
Rizal eventually realize with how native Filipinos
suffered injustices at the hands of the colonizers.
 Rizal's Enter Santo Tomas
His performance at the university did not match the
excellence he had shown at the Ateneo due to a
combination of factors, including his feelings about the
Dominican professors, who discriminated against the
native Filipinos.
In the summer of 1882, he completed his medicine
course and went home to Calamba with no intention to
return to the university to continue his studies in
Europe.
Rizal's experiences at UST, including the discrimination
he faced and the disparities in teaching methods,
played a crucial role in shaping his nationalist
sentiments and desire for social reforms.
