Education shapes the minds and characters of the next generation. What is taught in our schools today will determine the kind of nation we become tomorrow.
Parental Rights in Education
The primary right and responsibility for children's education belongs to parents, not the state. Conservatives must reassert parental rights by:
- Expanding school choice through vouchers and charter schools
- Ensuring parental involvement in curriculum decisions
- Protecting the right of parents to opt their children out of objectionable content
- Supporting homeschooling as a legitimate educational option
Restoring Values in Education
A truly Filipino education must transmit our cultural and moral heritage through accurate history that honors our Christian foundations, moral and character education rooted in timeless principles, and celebration of Filipino traditions and cultural achievements.
The Role of Catholic and Christian Schools
Catholic and Christian schools have long been pillars of Philippine education. These institutions must be protected and supported as they provide alternatives to secular public education.
