Palma was advanced in his ideas. He believed that despite our imperfections, we should attain a degree of perfection. i.e., find the selves we were meant to be, and this quest or search should start with an open and tough mind.
RAFAEL PALMA
“The primary purpose of education, according to Palma, is to develop the individual to his highest efficiency so that he can be of use to himself and to the community. Such a concept is based on the philosophy of altruism and is closely allied to citizenship.”
Devotion to the
welfare of others
RAFAEL PALMA
Education must produce individuals who are both useful to themselves and to society.
RAFAEL PALMA
“The teacher is not supposed to dramatize. He has no right to impose on his students his theories or personal belief. He is expected to stimulate free discussion, leaving to his students the choice of the system of thought which best satisfies their reason.”
