Education: Rizal’s Supreme Aspiration

Rizal returned to the country on June 26, 1892. But the Spanish authorities arrested him about two weeks later and deported him to Zamboanga del Norte. He failed to implement his supreme aspiration, but through his writings, he hoped that his countrymen would fulfill it.

That aspiration was a system that would build the self-esteem of the Filipino, uplift him from miserable conditions, give him decency, help him become worthy of freedom and civility, and prepare him to earn a living as a patriotic, enlightened, and productive citizen. It would assure him to triumph sweetly and rise until the height of honor.?

Rizal’s supreme aspiration was an educational system that would propel the Filipino people to attain their deserved liberties, material development, and greatness in the “lofty seat of endless glory.?”
