Hindi pangunahing misyon ng mga misyonerong Kastila sa Pilipinas ang pagtatatag ng mga paaralan.


Subalit ginawa nila ito bahagi ng misyon ng pagpapalaganap ng pananampalataya. Marami sa mga unang misyonero ay matatalinong iskolar at bunga ng Renaissance movement sa Europa.

 

Noong panahong iyon, ang gobyerno ay walang kakayahan at walang kamulatan sa kahalagahan ng edukasyon… kaya lalong naging pananagutan ito ng Simbahan.

 

Ang edukasyong ay sinimulan ng mga prayleng Agustino noon pang 1565 sa Cebu. Nagturo sila ng pagbasa at pagsusulat, mabuting ugali, at mga skills.

 

Ang mga prayleng Fransiskano ang nagsimula naman ng sistema ng “elementary education” na nagturo ng 4 R’s – religion, writing, reading at ‘rithmetic. Kasama na rin ang ilang skills na praktikal magagamit sa buhay.

 

Ang mga Heswita ay nagtayo ng paaralan sa Iloilo noong 1592, para sa training ng mga magiging katekista.

 

Ang Colegio de San Juan de Letran ng mga prayleng Dominikano ay natatag noong 1620 at naging bantog. Unang tinuruan doon ang mga ulilang bata na anak ng mga sundalong Kastila. Karamihan din sa mga unang graduates ay naging lingkod sa pamahalaan at sa simbahan.

FIRST DAY: DECEMBER 16   (from the book: Where is the Child?by Fr. R. Marcos (Makati: StPauls);  pls responsibly acknowledge source when using publicly)   fr tam nguyen's photo First Reading: Isaiah 56:1-3, 6-8   Thus says the Lord: Observe what is right, do what is just, for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed.   Hay is the one who does this, whoever holds fast to it: Keeping the sabbath without profaning it, keeping one’s hand from doing any evil. The foreigner joined to the Lord should not say, “The Lord will surely exclude me from his people”; Nor should the eunuch say, “See, I am a dry tree.” And foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, to become his servants—All who keep the sabbath without profaning it and hold fast to my covenant, them I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and t...
