"Education as Tool for Empowerment" Discuss the importance of education
in fostering critical thinking and societal progress/reforms
Education system during the Spanish period:

 Education is more inclined to men and women are just seen as housekeepers
and no need of education.
 Education for women is more of a privilege than a right.
 Majority of elementary, secondary and colleges were exclusively for males.
 "The cause of backwardness of Asia lives in the fact that there the women
are ignorant, are slaves; while Europe and America are powerful because
there the women are free and well-educated and endowed with lucid intellect
and a strong will." Jelou
Empowerment through Knowledge: ann
Critical Thinking and Rational Judgment: Rizal strongly believes that everyone,
especially women, should develop their critical thinking skills. He stresses the
importance of being able to think for oneself rather than blindly following orders.
According to Rizal, simply not knowing something doesn't automatically make a
person wise or honorable. He emphasizes the need for individuals to question
authority and to be able to discern between just and unjust commands. In essence,
Rizal encourages people to think independently, to analyze situations carefully, and
to stand against anything that seems unfair or unjust. cirilo
Resisting Oppression and Injustice: Rizal firmly believes that education is a

powerful tool against oppression and injustice. He argues that by acquiring
knowledge and understanding, individuals, especially women, can resist societal
norms that sustain their domination and moral decline. Rizal encourages women to
break free from these oppressive norms and to actively challenge the status quo.
Through education, women can gain the confidence and awareness needed to
advocate for societal reforms that address inequality and promote justice. Rizal sees
education as the key to empowering individuals to become agents of change in their
communities, ultimately leading to a more just and equitable society. mernil
Social Responsibility and Moral Integrity: Rizal emphasizes that education is

not just about acquiring knowledge but also about developing a sense of
responsibility towards the community and upholding moral principles. He believes
that education should inspire individuals to prioritize the well-being of society as a
whole over their own self-interests. Rizal encourages people to act with compassion
and fairness, ensuring that justice is served for everyone, regardless of their
background or circumstances. He sees education as a means to nurture individuals
who are not only intellectually competent but also morally upright, capable of
making positive contributions to the world around them. Christian
