InsightsAmericans’ actions in establishing the

first formal education in the Philippines was something to which we should be thankful for. The contents of the Act No.74 of the Philippine commission was a proof that we really had received a help from them. We were given the chance to be educated. And since the medium of instruction in public schools were in English, Filipinos were given the chance to learn the language of our occupants: Americans, the chance to learn the universal language. Here, Filipinos were very willing to learn and were glad that they were given the chance. MENUNEXT

InsightsThen during the Japanese occupation,

Filipinos has not much enthusiasm in returning to school first because the Filipinos as a whole were suspicious of the Japanese intension and second, children focused on helping their parents tide over the difficult times. Even though the Japanese allowed to continue using English as the medium of instruction in teaching, Niponggo was later injected to be studied in schools including elementary schools.

MENUNEXTPREVIOUS

InsightsThis abrupt transition of learning from

English to Niponggo caused damage in the sense of national consciousness because the Filipinos don’t have their own knowledge. They are learning another countries’ language while destroying the main variations of their country’s languages. Instead of learning their own language, Filipinos were forced to learn the others’ that causes them to forget their own.
