Did martial law improve the condition of Philippine educational system?

The imposition of martial law in the Philippines from 1972 to 1981 had mixed effects on the educational system. While some infrastructure improvements and access to education expanded, the period was also marked by censorship, repression, and a curriculum that emphasized nationalism over critical thinking. Many educators faced restrictions, and academic freedom was compromised, leading to a decline in the quality of education. Overall, while there were some advancements, the negative impacts on academic freedom and quality overshadowed the improvements.
