SPANISH PERIOD OF COLONIZATION
 Madrasah was the only form of education for the Bangsa Moro.

AMERICAN PERIOD
 Secular education was introduced in Mindanao, Solo, and Palawan
During the period of Moro resistance against the colonizer(Spain and America)
Madrasah was the single institution that made the survival of Islam possible in
the Philippines.
 The acceptance by the Moro Muslims of the secular system of education in
public(government) schools was slow and gradual.

The evolution of Madrasah education began in the 1950s when Moro Muslims
were sent to study in Muslim countries.

When these scholars returned to the Philippines, they established formal

madrasah institutions offering the same Islamic sectarian curriculum that they
learned from the universities abroad.
