as a Jose Rizal’s Early Education Rizal’s education started at home, where his mother, Teodora Alonso, was his first teacher. She taught him to love reading and learning. He then attended school in Biñan, Laguna, where he excelled in subjects like Latin and Spanish. Even as a child, he was curious and eager to learn. Ateneo Municipal de Manila At 11, Rizal enrolled at Ateneo, where he performed exceptionally well, often ranking at the top of his class. He was disciplined, smart, and had a passion for literature. Rizal graduated with high honors, and Ateneo helped shape his character, developing his interest in writing and serving his country. University of Santo Tomas (UST) Rizal went to UST to study Philosophy and Letters but later switched to Medicine to help his mother, who was losing her eyesight. At UST, Rizal faced racial discrimination because he was a native Filipino ("indio"). This experience made him more aware of the injustices faced by his people. Education in Europe Rizal later studied in Europe, attending the Universidad Central de Madrid in Spain, where he earned a degree in Medicine and studied philosophy. He mastered many languages and became a writer and thinker. His famous novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, were written during this time, and they exposed the wrongdoings of the Spanish government and church in the Philippines. These books inspired the revolution against Spanish rule. Why Rizal’s Life as a Student is Important: Hard Work and Intelligence: Rizal was a top student everywhere he went. He studied medicine, literature, philosophy, and even mastered different languages. Fighting for Justice: Even as a student, he saw the unfair treatment of Filipinos. His education helped him understand the problems in his country and motivated him to write books that inspired the Philippine revolution. Patriotism: Rizal used his education to help the Filipino people. He believed that education could free people from oppression and change society for the better. as a 1870 – Rizal started formal schooling at the age of 9 in Biñan, Laguna under the instruction of Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz. 1872 – After a year and a half in Biñan, Rizal transferred to Manila and entered Ateneo Municipal de Manila (now Ateneo de Manila University), where he excelled academically and graduated with high honors in 1877. 1877 – Rizal enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) to study Philosophy and Letters, but he shifted to Medicine in his second year. 1882 – At the age of 21, Rizal left for Spain without informing his family, intending to further his medical studies. He enrolled at the Universidad Central de Madrid, where he obtained his degree in Medicine in 1884 and Philosophy and Letters in 1885. 1884 – While studying in Madrid, Rizal won first prize for his literary work "El Consejo de los Dioses" and also delivered a speech honoring Juan Luna and Felix Resurrección Hidalgo for their victories in international art competitions. June 1884 – Rizal completed his degree in Licentiate in Medicine at the Universidad Central de Madrid. 1885 – He completed his degree in Licentiate in Philosophy and Letters, with the highest honors, at the same university. 1885–1886 – Rizal pursued further studies in ophthalmology in Paris under Dr. Louis de Wecker, and later in Heidelberg, Germany, where he studied under Dr. Otto Becker. travels Rizal’s Secret mission - to observe keenly the life and culture, languages and customs, industries and commerce, and governments and laws of the European nations to prepare himself for the mighty task of liberating his oppressed people from Spanish tyranny Secret Departure for Spain - Rizal's departure for Spain was kept secret to avoid detection by the Spanish authorities and the friars. Even his own parents did not know because he knew they, especially his mother, would not allow him to go. Only his older brother (Paciano), his uncle (Antonio Rivera father of Leonor Rivera), his sisters (Neneng and Lucia), the Valenzuela family (Capitan Juan and Capitana Sanday and their daughter Orang), Pedro A. Paterno, his compadre Mateo Evangelista the Atenco Jesuit fathers, and some intimate friends, including Chengoy (Jose M, Cecilio). May 1882 - left the country to pursue further studies abroad. He enrolled in a course in medicine at the Universidad Central de Madrid in Spain June 1883 - traveled to France to observe how medicine was being practiced there After his three-month sojourn in France, Rizal returned to Madrid and thought about publishing a book that exposed the colonial relationship of Spain and the Philippines. This idea was realized in March 1887, with the publication of the novel Noli Me Tangere in Germany Rizal returned to Manila in August 1887, after five years in Europe. However, his homecoming was met by the friars’ furor over Noli Me Tangere. The Archbishop of Manila issued an order banning the possession and reading of the novel, an order that was later reinforced by the governor-general. Six months later (February 1888), pressured by the Spanish authorities as well as by his family and friends to leave the country and avoid further persecution, Rizal left Manila for Hong Kong From Hong Kong, Rizal traveled to Macau and Japan before going to America. Entering San Francisco, California, in April 1888, he visited the states of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Illinois, and New York. He jotted down his observations of the landscape in his diary. Rizal arrived in England in May 1888 In August, he was admitted to the British Museum, where he copied Antonio de Morga’s massive study of the Philippines, “Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas”, which Rizal later annotated for publication “as a gift to the Filipinos.” From 1888 to 1890 he shuttled between London and Paris, where he wrote ethnographic and history-related studies, as well as political articles. He also frequently visited Spain, where he met with fellow Filipino intellectuals like Marcelo H. del Pilar, Mariano Ponce, and Graciano Lopez- Jaena. In March 1890, Rizal finished writing his second novel, El Filibusterismo, in France. He planned to publish the book in Belgium, but was financially hard up. September 1890, El Filibusterismo was published in Ghent using donations from Rizal’s friends. Rivalry had ensued between Rizal and del Pilar over the leadership of the Asociación Hispano Filipino in Spain. Rizal decided to leave Europe to avoid the worsening rift between the Rizalistas and Pilaristas, and to help maintain unity among Filipino expatriates. After staying for some time in Hong Kong, where he practiced medicine and planned to build a “New Calamba” by relocating landless Filipinos to Borneo, Rizal came home to the Philippines in June 1892. 1.
