This study took off from the assumption that the extent of the power distance between Filipino students and their teachers could help explain the state of their ability to communicate, socialize, and think critically. A survey of a group of Filipino students’ perceptions of their teachers was conducted. Evidence shows that a low power-distance relationship exists between the students and their teachers. This finding is contrary to the view that the power distance culture in the students’ family is similar to the one that exists in school. Evidence further suggests that it is possible for an educational institution to insulate itself from a high power distance culture that may dominate a country. Most of the students in this study agree that their teachers, in general, have contributed significantly to the advancement of their social, communication, and critical thinking skills owing to the low level power distance that exists between them and their teachers.
