10. Effects of Colonial Education in the Philippines The friars were effective in evangelizing the Catholic religion to the Filipinos . One major failure of the educational system of the religious congregations was the withholding of the Filipinos to learn other bodies of knowledge.

11. Education during the Spanish regime was privileged only to Spanish students. Several educated Filipinos referred to as ilustrados began movements directed towards change in the system of government in the Philippines.

12. During the Spanish era in the Philippines (1565-1898), education was primarily controlled by religious orders. The goal was to promote Christianity and ensure loyalty to Spain, and it catered mostly to the elite or the " ilustrados ."

13. Key aspects of education during this period include: Religious Influence : Spanish missionaries established the first schools, which taught basic literacy and religious doctrines. Religious instruction was central, with Catholicism being the primary subject. Limited Access : Education was mainly accessible to Spanish settlers, wealthy Filipinos, and the mestizo class. Indigenous Filipinos and the lower classes had limited access to formal education. Primary Schools : By the 19th century, primary schools were established in towns, with separate schools for boys and girls. The subjects taught included reading, writing, arithmetic, and Christian doctrine .

14. Secondary and Higher Education : A few schools offered secondary education, such as the Colegio de San Juan de Letran and Ateneo Municipal de Manila . The University of Santo Tomas (UST), founded in 1611, is one of the oldest universities in Asia, offering higher education to select students. Educational Goals : The system aimed to produce loyal and submissive colonial subjects. Critical thinking and intellectual growth were not emphasized for the masses. Language : Instruction was mostly in Spanish, although local languages were sometimes used in early primary education. However, fluency in Spanish was often limited to the elite.

15. The education system during this time laid the groundwork for the rise of the Filipino intellectual class, which later played a significant role in the fight for independence.
