This book examines the ways in which colonialism and occupation have shaped the educational systems of the Philippines and Japan. Drawing on a wealth of archival research and interviews with educators and policymakers, the author argues that the educational policies and practices of both countries have been shaped by the experiences of colonialism and occupation.

In the Philippines, the author shows how the American colonial government used education to promote its own political and economic interests. The American colonial government established a system of public schools that was designed to teach Filipinos the English language and American values. This system of education was intended to create a loyal and docile workforce for the American colonial government.

After the Philippines gained independence from the United States in 1946, the Philippine government continued to use education to promote its own political and economic interests. The Philippine government established a system of public schools that was designed to promote Filipino nationalism and economic development. This system of education was intended to create a skilled and patriotic workforce for the Philippine government.

In Japan, the author shows how the Japanese colonial government used education to promote its own political and economic interests. The Japanese colonial government established a system of public schools that was designed to teach Koreans the Japanese language and Japanese values. This system of education was intended to create a loyal and docile workforce for the Japanese colonial government.

After Japan lost World War II in 1945, the American occupation government used education to promote its own political and economic interests. The American occupation government established a system of public schools that was designed to teach Koreans the English language and American values. This system of education was intended to create a loyal and docile workforce for the American occupation government.

The author argues that the educational policies and practices of both the Philippines and Japan have been shaped by the experiences of colonialism and occupation. These experiences have left a lasting legacy on the educational systems of both countries.

This book is a valuable contribution to the literature on colonialism and occupation. It provides a nuanced and detailed analysis of the ways in which colonialism and occupation have shaped the educational systems of the Philippines and Japan.

The book is also a valuable resource for educators and policymakers who are interested in understanding the impact of colonialism and occupation on education.
