In the speech that Pope Francis gave to the Piarists on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the Pious Schools, he vehemently reminded us: “The educational compact: school, family and youth, is broken. So, we have to rebuild this educational pact in the way it has to be rebuilt, but it is key in that. And to educate by rebuilding the educational pact, which includes the family; necessarily, today in education, the family cannot be absent, the family as it comes. But there are destroyed families that… well, but many things can be recomposed in the child, many things”.
In the context of the Global Education Pact, we have proposed the “promotion of programs that meet the needs of the orientation of the families of our students and other Piarist platforms.” (Roadmap for irreplaceable ministry).
Remember that the “Participation of families” in the educational process is one of the ten indicators of Calasanzian quality.
To deepen this indicator, ICCE-CCS published in 2002 a handy booklet written by Felix Morillon, which is available in digital format in Spanish: FAMILIA Y ESCUELA.
We also have the Calasanzian identity booklet in four languages at your disposal.
We will publish ten experiences that can help us to work on the relationship between the family and the school successfully.
