the Philippines. These friars controlled the educational system in the Philippines and they
were able to own different schools comprising from the primary level to the tertiary
levels of education. The people who took charge in teaching, implementation of the rules
and regulations and the monitoring of students were assigned to the missionaries during
that time. The teachings of the Catholic religion were emphasized to the levels of
education in the schools owned by the friars. In the primary level, they were taught of the
Christian Doctrines, how to read Spanish books and a little of the native’s language. In
the universities, Science and Mathematics were not very much introduced to the students.

2.During the time of Jose Rizal, the frias controlled the educational system in the
Philippines, they were able to own different schools comprising from primary level to
tertiary leves of education. During that period, the missionaries were in charge of
teaching, enforcing rules and regulations, and supervising pupils. The Catholic religion's
teachings were stressed at all levels of education at the friars' schools. In primary school,
They were taught Christian doctrines, how to read Spanish books, and a basic
understanding of the local language. Science and mathematics were not well-introduced
to students at universities. Students were taught how to speak and comprehend Latin
instead of Spanish. Discrimination was often practiced in the early days. This is due to
the fact that the schools were formerly solely open to Spaniards. Filipinos were only
allowed to go to school in the late 1800s. Some schools likewise only accepted the sons
of rich Filipino families as students. Friars seldom discriminated against Filipinos
because they felt that even if they were allowed to attend school and study, Filipinos
would not be able to match their abilities, and that they could only learn quickly if
disciplinary acts or corporal punishment were severely enforced. In addition, throughout
their period, boys and girls attended different schools. The earliest schools that were
founded were for males. In the year 1565, In Cebu, Augustinians established the first
school in the Philippines.
