Marlon Martin explains that the introduction of formal education disrupted traditional Ifugao ways of learning that once passed knowledge through lived experience and intergenerational practice. He describes how classroom-based study replaced hands-on transmission, such as hunting, weaving, and environmental observation, leading to the gradual loss of Indigenous knowledge. Martin notes that while these activities cannot be fully taught through theory, communities now use modern education as a tool to recover and sustain them. By integrating Ifugao values, philosophies, and environmental understanding into classrooms, younger generations can be helped in reconnecting with their heritage, strengthening communal responsibility, and understanding what it means to live as part of an Ifugao community.
