The researchers likewise look into the programs undertaken during the period to implement the objectives of the Japanese sponsored education. The study includes an evaluation of the said system. The researchers use the descriptive-analytical method of research. Oral history is also utilized. The researchers interviewed eleven (11) respondents. Of the number, two (2) were teachers and the rest were students during the said period. The study is centered on the Japanese objectives. Namely, the inculcation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere the elimination of Western influences the uplifting of Filipino morals the propagation of Japanese language the promotion of vocational courses and the encouragement to love labor.
