The introduction of curriculum 2005 has posed new challenges for all. Many Catholic schools, clergy, parents, and teachers have asked for direction and reflection on Catholic education in these uncertain times. This guide provides that direction. For teachers, clergy and other educators, it not only reminds us of our faith, and inspires us to remain involved in education, but also gives practical and realistic ways in which to implement church teachings on lifelong education. Key featuresinclude: outlines of the ethical foundation of Catholic education; help for parents, teachers and other educators to assess and improve their own role in education; readable style of writing; questions for reflection and discussion; and key Church documents on education.
