    Republic Act 1425 mandated the inclusion of courses about Jose Rizal, particularly his novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, in the curriculum of all public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines. It required the use of the original unexpurgated editions of Rizal's novels as basic texts in college courses. The act also appropriated funds for the translation of Rizal's works into major Philippine languages and their distribution. Debate around the law in the 1950s centered on both those who saw promoting Rizal's nationalism as important and those who had religious or other objections to mandated curriculum.
