What Is It

Education is the social

institution that formally socializes
members of the society. It also
refers to the process through which
skills, knowledge, and values are
transmitted from the teachers to the
learners.

Formal education usually

takes placed in a classroom setting
and provided by trained teaching
and nonteaching staff.

Elementary education is the

first part of the educational system,
and it includes the first six years of
compulsory education from grade1

to grade 6.

Secondary education is continuing basic education from the elementary level

to four years of junior high school and two years of senior high school.

Tertiary education is offered by private and public colleges and universities.

Most higher education institutions offer 4-year degree programs with 2 semesters per
year.

Vocational education. Accredited institutions offer technical and vocational

education. Programs offered vary in duration from a few weeks to two years.

Special education (SPED) refers to the education of persons who are

physically, mentally, emotionally, socially or culturally different from so-called “normal”
individuals, such that they require modification of school practices to develop their
potential.

Nonformal education is an organized educational activity that takes placed

outside a formal set up. It has no age-limit, even adults can take part in a nonformal
education program. One example for this is the Alternative Learning System (ALS) of
the Department of Education.

Informal education is a lifelong process of learning by which every person

acquires and accumulates knowledge, skills, attitude from daily experiences at home,
at work, at play, and from life itself.

Functions of Education in the Society

• Give training in specific skills; or the basic general education literacy

3
• Prepare individuals for job
• Preserving culture from generation to generation
• Encouraging democratic participation through verbal skills
• Develop the person’s ability to think logically
• Enriching life by enabling the students to expand his/her intellectual and
aesthetic horizons
• Improving personal adjustment through personal counselling
• Improving the health of the nation’s youth
• Producing nationalistic citizens
• Build personal character

The two most important goals of education for the individual and society are
productive citizenry and self-actualization. Productive citizenry refers to an idea
that a citizen can create opportunities to become productive.

Self-actualization refers to a desire for self-fulfilment. If an individual’s self-

fulfilment is through achieving his dreams and aspirations in life, once these are
achieved, he reaches the level of self-actualization.

Primary Education as a Human Right

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right
to education. Education has to be free and compulsory at least in the primary level,
higher education and technical-vocational education should be made generally
available.

In the statement of United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural

Organization (UNESCO), education is a fundamental human right and essential for
the exercise of all other human rights. It promotes individual freedom and
empowerment and yields important development benefits.

Education is a powerful tool by which economically and socially marginalized

adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and participate fully as citizens.
Hence in the Philippines, primary education is considered a right of a child. It is
enshrined in the 1987 Philippine Constitution.
