Repurpose as Rise of higher education in Phillipines or similar. It should be possible to add paragraphs between the Pensionado Act and the initiative under Marcos and as to what has happened since. If we have another article on the subject, I would support merge/redirect. The final paragraph on Filipino academics in US should be removed. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:38, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete, drafify, or stubiffy. The article as written reads like a mix of WP:ESSAY and WP:OR. It's possible that a good article could be written on this topic (possibly with a different title, as suggested above), but this isn't it. So, either delete with no prejudice to recreate a better version, or WP:TNT. Somewhat more specifically, I'd be more inclined to let this stay if we had in-line references for statements such as the main goal for the Spaniards were to spread Christianity in the Philippines, and removing obvious WP:OR/WP:POV such as If lucky, Filipinas were limited to learn some primary education. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:30, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Partial Merge to Education in the Philippines during the American rule. The section "The Pensionado Act" has information that could be combined but the rest is a WP:ESSAY. No independent notability for the concept is sustained by the sources used. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib)
