Manuel Quezon’s Philosophy of Philippine Education

 Quezon’s Philosophy of Philippine Education is basically local

or Philippine in orientation, a refl ection of the need of
colonial people to upgrade themselves

 Intellectually

 Morally

 Economically through education

EDUCATION FOR BET TER
CITIZENSHIP

 The state is therefore duty bound to mold spirit of the youth in

patriotism and self sacrifice with can be done through education.

 Public or even private schools must constantly instill in the minds

and hearts of their students their duty to defend the nation in time
of war and to be useful and law –abiding citizens in time of peace.
EDUCATION FOR BET TER
CITIZENSHIP

 free public primary education and citizenship training for adults

 develop their talents since the government could create for them a
large number of scholarships

 “the true worth of a man is measured not only by a diploma but

by his proficiency in his chosen line of work” - Quezon
EDUCATION FOR BET TER
CITIZENSHIP

 Poor – should be satisfied with vocational education.

 Intellectually-gifted – should have ambition to follow a college or

universities.

 For Quezon, the diploma is simply a steppingstone towards various paths of

progress.

 Philippine soldiers should also be given vocational training to make them

economically self-sufficient.
DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP

 A worthy citizen first learns his duties before speaking his demands the
citizen must be a defender of its state and be a model of oneself be abiding the
law

 The citizen and government works together to maintain peace and order in the
country

 A women is not a slave and granted the right to vote, for it was their duty also
to choose a leader that would lead their country well.
A NATIONAL SOUL

 A nation’s soul was its language because a genuine national pride

is anchored on one’s native language.

 The adoption of Tagalog as the basis for the Philippine national

language since it was the most developed of all existing language
in the country and most widely spoken language in his time.

 Tagalog, let subcultures understand each other

EASY GOING PARASITISM

 Filipino deserves personal gain; personal interest and they don’t value
perseverance and other attitudes that would help them build the character and
to improve their selves.

 Self Inefficiency (Quezon)

 Filipinos rely on government, that the government will give them everything,
but not the Filipinos didn’t realize that they must work for their self and not
to depend on government, work hard and be dignified on what ever field of
career you have.
BUILDING THE FILIPINO
CHARACTER

 “A nation is nothing more nor less than its citizenry” Quezon

 A nation strength is not wealth but the happiness or welfare of the

common man.

 A nation is strong “when every citizen recognizes the rights of his

fellowmen, and in turn makes in fellowmen recognize his own
rights”
