Brother Armin Luistro, FSC born December 24, 1961 in Lipa, Batangas, Philippines) is a Filipino Lasallian Brother, who is the current secretary of the Department of Education of the Philippines. Luistro entered De La Salle Scholasticate (the center for academic training of De La Salle Brothers)〔 in Manila on April 1979 while he was studying in De La Salle University (DLSU).〔 He received the religious habit of the congregation on October 1981 at the La Salle Novitiate in Lipa. He professed his first religious vows on October 1982, and his final vows on May 1988.〔 He started teaching as a religion teacher at De La Salle Lipa in 1983. He was made provincial of the De La Salle Brothers Philippine District on April 1997, a post he held until 2003.〔〔〔〔 On August 26, 2000, Luistro co-founded the De La Salle Catholic University of Manado, currently known as De La Salle University, in Indonesia with Josef Suwatan, Roman Catholic Bishop of Manado.〔〔 On April 2004,〔 he succeeded Andrew Gonzalez as the president of De La Salle University System, consequently making him the president of eight De La Salle institutions.〔 He worked into establishing De La Salle Philippines (DLSP) which replaced the system.〔 The DLSP National Mission Council appointed him DLSP President and Chief Executive Officer on November 29, 2005.〔 He was appointed as the Secretary of Education of the Philippines since June 30, 2010,〔〔 becoming the second De La Salle brother to hold the post—the other was Gonzalez who was in office from 1998 to 2001.〔〔 Luistro has the least net worth among Aquino's cabinet. He had ₱89,000 (US$2,060).〔 In contrast, the richest—Cesar Purisima who is Secretary of Finance—had ₱252 million (US$5.84 million).〔〔 The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) have expressed skepticism over Luistro's stand on sex education citing his religious background.〔 Nevertheless, the Department of Education has included sex education in its curriculum for grade 5 to fourth year high school. Roman Catholic groups have criticized it for allegedly not covering the emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions of sexuality.〔 Luistro is a major proponent of the K+12 Basic Education Program in the Philippines. The program seeks to add two years to the current 10-year basic education curriculum.〔〔 Numerous parties have opposed the plan including Ateneo de Manila University President Bienvenido Nebres and progressive groups of students, teachers and parents.〔 == Educational background == Luistro was born on December 24, 1961, to José Dimayuga Luistro and Magdalena Aranda Altamirano-Luistro in Lipa, Batangas, Philippines. He attended first grade at Our Lady of the Rosary Academy in Lipa, grades 2 to 5 at Canossa Academy Lipa, and graduated elementary and high school at De La Salle Lipa. He pursued his undergraduate studies at De La Salle University in Manila under a scholarship, and was conferred Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Letters on March 1981.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bro. Armin Luistro )〕 When asked in a ''Manila Bulletin'' interview in 2009, he shared that he had spent most of his education in Batangas, and since DLSU had no uniforms, he "wore all the ''badúy'' () type of shirts", as he put it, using the Tagalog word for "unfashionable", while most of his classmates were from elite high schools. Thus he says "I supposed () laughed at me."〔 In 1981 he entered into a program in Ateneo de Manila University, and was awarded a Certificate in Formation Institute for Religious Educators in 1985. He enrolled in a graduate program in DLSU in 1991, and was conferred a Master of Arts degree in Religious Education in 1993.〔 He also graduated with a master's degree in religious education and values formation at the same university in 2003. He was conferred a doctorate degree in educational management on May 2005.〔 He was made Doctor of Humane Letters, ''honoris causa'', by La Salle University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States on May 9, 2004.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armin Luistro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
