NEW EDUCATIONAL HORIZONS

Catholic schools and universities can be found everywhere in the world. Some of them boast a centuries-old tradition, others are of more recent origin, but their large number bears witness to the importance the Church has always attributed to them. The members of the Plenary Session of the Congregation for Catholic Education, convened in 2011, accepted Pope Benedict’s invitation to entrust the Dicastery with the organization of the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration Gravissimum educationis and the 25^th Anniversary of the Apostolic Constitution Ex corde Ecclesiae of Pope John Paul II, in order to reaffirm the commitment of the Church to education and instruction. The present volume is fruit of a collaboration between the Congregation for Catholic Education and the “EIS School of Higher Learning” of  Roman-based  LUMSA University, and wants to give an answer to the many questions which cropped up during the preparation of the Instrumentum laboris ”Educating today and tomorrow. A renewing passion”.
