    Rizal had his early education in Calamba and Biñan. It was a typical schooling that a son of an ilustrado family received during his time, characterized by the four R’s- reading, writing, arithmetic, and religion. Instruction was rigid and strict. Knowledge was forced into the minds of the pupils by means of the tedious memory method aided by the teacher’s whip. Despite the defects of the Spanish system of elementary education, Rizal was able to acquire the necessary instruction preparatory for college work in Manila. It may be said that Rizal, who was born a physical weakling, rose to become an intellectual giant not because of, but rather in spite of, the outmoded and backward system of instruction obtaining in the Philippines during the last decades of Spanish regime.…

    It was during Rizal’s Ateneo life that he developed patriotic feelings and acute quickness of perception (una exquisita sensibilidad). He also developed the quickness of political perception and he even privately concluded that he must dedicate his life to the service of his people. It was also during this time that he realized that the first step in such a life of service is that he must study abroad. I quote the line from the book of Austin Coates, “It is by means of education, he says, that the fatherland acquires it’s glory; and in the poem that follows, fervent with proud and youthful love of country, he says that just as the gentle movement of a breeze causes flowers to show off their colors more vividly, so is education the vital breath which causes a nation to rise to it’s more brilliant heights; that wherever education is implanted there will grow up a youth invigorated and strong, firmly eradicating error and broadening itself on the strength of noble ideas.” In my own opinion, the greatest view that he formulated in his college years in Ateneo is the importance of education. From the line that I quoted, it shows how much Rizal value education. He also had the idea that by altering the basic nature of Philippine society through enlightenment and arms is not necessary. He believes that war/revolution is not necessary to achieve reformation or change and that…

    True enough, even at an early age, Rizal had already discovered that ignorance was detrimental to a relationship between rulers and their subjects – it generates corruption which leads to fallacy, fantacism, intolerance, and greed. For him, education was the solution to the poisonous effects of such to the wellness of the country and its people. Being a man of knowledge, however, is not enough for one to be a substantial leader. Character is also needed in carrying out the moral responsibilities due to a leader. Fortunately, Rizal was both intellectually gifted, having mastered 22 languages and being a versatile genius in many fields; and strong in character, as he possessed oustanding traits like courage, devotion to truth, integrity, selflessness, and loyalty. Having realized the demands of leadership as a tool for social transformation, Rizal devoted his life in honing his skills and character so that, one day, he could “participate in the…

    Rizal is not only a man with first-class decisions and answers; he is also superior in giving solutions to the social cancer brought about by Spanish imposition. I greatly admire his way of finding education as a first step towards independence; it was a simple answer of providing leverage and advantage for his fellowmen who are entitled to fit such solution. Education was to enlighten them on the best course of action to be taken when the time comes when they have finally grasp what it means to be totally free of a bondage that has maimed them for centuries. credential…
