-Schools are develop to satisfy the rudiments of learning:

“Education has to do with influencing man to become what
he ought to be”.
-Education helps man to develop his own philosophy or
belief which will help him in the attainment of his ultimate
goals: HAPPINESS & SATISFACTION
Brubacher:
What shall we take to the proper relation to

general philosophy to philosophy of education? On
this point, there are several opinins. Most obvious is
that which holds a philosophy of the basic and
primary to a philosophy of education. The FORMER
establishes fundamental principles, the LATTER
carries out their implications in a special field.
Philosophy of education:
Kilpatrick: Philo of educ pertains to any distinctive
political outlook... that wishes its kind of education to
perpetuate its kind of life. It is concerned with what social
outlook the school system, school management, and
teaching procedure tend to support. Likewise, it considers
what kind of social life they ought to support, and what kind
of school management and teaching-learning procedure or
methods they ought ti adopt in order to attain this desired
social life.
Therefore, Philosophy of education...
:pertains to the aims and objectives towards which the

educational system and practices are directed. It takes into
consideration the the MEANS to arrive at concrete solutions
to the dilemmas that haunt the educational system and the
society as well.
: serves as the guiding spirit or principle which serves as the

very foundation of the educational system.
