Before the coming of Spaniards, the early Filipinos had a culture of their own and education was informal. Education during Spanish Era was pre~dominantly religious. The Educational Decree of 1863 which was promulgated during this era gave the Filipinos a complete educational system from the elementary to the tertiary level. During the American Regime the curriculum prescribed was designated to realize the objectives of American Democracy.
