Pope: Educate to promote dignity, justice, and trust in a war-torn world
According to the Herald Malaysia, a daily news source, Pope reflects on the millions of children lacking access to basic education due to war, migration, inequality, and poverty.
The Pope asks how Christian education can respond to these crises in his Apostolic Letter Drawing New Maps of Hope, signed on 27 October 2025.
The insights of Gravissimum Educationis remain relevant in today’s fragmented and digitalised environment, continuing to inspire educational communities to build bridges and to offer civic and professional formation with creativity.
This direction, first traced by the Second Vatican Council, has generated a rich array of works and charisms that remain a spiritual and pedagogical treasure for the Church.
The Apostolic Letter was released to mark the 60th anniversary of the Concliar declaration Gravissimum Educationis.
