<description><![CDATA[ José Rizal&#039;s education began not in a formal school, but at home in Calamba, where his mother Teodora Alonso taught him to read and write. At around age nine, he was sent to nearby Biñan to study under a private tutor, gaining his first taste of academic discipline and independence before moving on to Manila.
Trace the earliest roots of José Rizal&#039;s education in Calamba and Biñan — from his mother&#039;s early lessons at home to his first formal schooling under a strict tutor, laying the foundation for the brilliance he would later show at the Ateneo and beyond. ]]></description>
