INTRODUCTION

"The circumstances of our time have made it easier and at once more urgent to educate young people and to continue the education of adults"

Yes, it's easier in some ways....so much available in the way of resources....
but more difficult in other ways....children after about 9 years old are more difficult to motivate

Which is why fewer and fewer people want to be teachers,
especially not teachers of older children

In the UK, teaching is regarded as the most stressful of all jobs,
and nearly half of all teachers have quit teaching - see this report

All the more need for the Church to get/stay involved in education.
"Your jungle needs you" as one advertisement said

Jesus, you said to teach all nations,
please bless all the schools in my part of the world
