Education related Laws
| In Philippine society, education for women was not given importance. This is because women were expected to marry and become home managers and mothers. At first, courses for women were on subjects related to her preparation for married life - embroidery, cooking, etc. But women objected to such treatment. For example, the women of Malolos in the 1800s fought for the right to be able to learn the Spanish language, which right was reserved then only for men. But over the years, society has learned that the other half of the population can also contribute greatly to national development and, therefore, their right to quality education should be recognized. | |
