“Education is, to a very significant extent, the way in which the various overlapping communities to which we belong as human beings – the family first of all – initiate us into the richness of a shared life and heritage. Education can never be reduced to becoming simply a good citizen, or a productive contributor to the wealth of society. While these form part of the process, education is always about more than any of them as it is concerned with the whole person”. – Irish Bishops’ Conference, Vision 08.
