Before the Philippines attained complete independence in 1946, the country's
education system was patterned on the systems of Spain and the United States--
countries which colonized and governed the country for more than three hundred
years. However, after independence, the country's educational system has constantly
undergone reform. We cannot deny the fact that we cannot have an educational
system as to the things we have now without the history of it that really helps us to
become more independent. Education in the Philippines has undergone several
stages of development from pre-Spanish period to the present years. Each stages of
development in our education gives us something that is useful up until now. And we
should teach this to the youngsters because Aldous Huxley one’s said “That men do
not learn very much from the lessons of, history is the most important of all the lessons
that history has to teach.”
