II. Identify 1 influence of Spanish, American, and Japanese occupation

in the Philippines that contributed to the issues of our education
system today. (15 points)

There are a lot of issues that our educational system today is facing.
One of them is the problem of the majority of the students to comprehend
and appreciate the Filipino cultures that I believe the different governments
who once were colonizing us had partly contributed.
Both Spanish, American, and Japanese educational system had paid
less attention on influencing the Filipinos to love the country. The same
happens at the present times, most of our dear young students are more
interested watching and following foreign movies like Korean drama
series, Korean music, American dramas, and the like, compare to ours.
