Education
Education is the social
institution that formally socializes
members of 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 non-teaching
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
Vocational education. Accredited
institutions offer technical and vocational
education. Programs offered to 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 any organized
educational activity that takes place
outside a formal setup. It has no age limit,
even adults can take part in a nonformal
education program. One example of 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
• Prepare individuals for the 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 counseling
• 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 the idea that a citizen can
create opportunities to become
productive.
Self-actualization refers to a
desire for self-fulfillment. If an
individual’s self-fulfillment 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 at
the primary level, higher
education and technical-
vocational education
should be made generally
In the statement of the 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.
