  citizens, including the rights and
  responsibilities of people.

  of the Philippine Public school system.

  “Thomasites” arrived.

 English was made medium of instruction
 Curricular structure and programs were
  patterned from the U.S.

 There were 3 levels of education:
  Elementary level, Secondary or High

 Religion was not included in the curriculum
  of the schools.

Issues

 Public School System


 English language was used as a medium of
  instruction.
Strengths, and Weaknesses
during that time:

Strengths:
 Education allowed the Americans to
  spread, share their culture.

 Gave everyone chance to study.

 Equality between men and women
 Religious freedom.

 Technical/ vocational skills were
  emphasized.

 The knowledge of Filipinos in reading and
  writing were very high.
Weaknesses

 Americans’ main objective is to colonize and
  use the country and its people.

 Education was the most powerful means in
  pursuing peaceful relationship with the
  Philippines.
 Education under American colonization led to
  widespread Americanization of the
  Philippines.

 Through education, the Americans influenced
  the Filipinos in terms of what they eat, to love
  the American culture, and most of all, to
  prioritize their products.
Insights

 “Americans thought us the importance of
  education, and that importance is still evident today.
  Before the Americans, education was not for
  everyone, only the elite people were given the
  chance of the Spaniards to study. Americans
  introduced the public school system and by that we
  should thanked them because they’re the reason
  why there’s Cebu Normal University, our school. We
  all know that they had hidden agendas for their own
  good that’s why they helped and educated us. But In
  my own opinion, I must say that both parties
  benefitted, what they did had a mutual effect to the
  Americans and to us Filipinos.”
