FEATURED ITEM: BIC STATEMENT ON EDUCATION

Education and its minimum requirements

Education is seen by Baha'is as a continuous and creative process. Its aim is to develop the capacities latent in human nature and to coordinate their expression for the enrichment and progress of society. At certain moments in history, Baha'is believe, education may also act as a powerful instrument for profound societal transformation. Within this creative process, it is possible to achieve an essential harmony between faith and reason through an approach to education that encourages the free investigation of all reality and trains minds to recognize truth, irrespective of its origin. more...

Purpose of the Association for Bahá’í Educators Network

The Association of Bahá’í Educators is a network established to foster the exchange of news, experience, research, resources and questions related to the education of children, youth and adults within the principles and teachings of the Bahá’í Faith.

Our aim is to enable participants to discuss:
- Models of Bahá’í curricula and lesson plans
- Effective teaching and learning strategies for Bahá’í education
- New approaches to general education inspired by the Bahá’í teachings

This forum gives attention both to education and training activities within Bahá’í communities, as well as to the integration of Bahá’í principles and values in primary schools, secondary schools, colleges and university programs.

Professional educators, researchers, teachers of Bahá’í children's classes, parents, and interested friends are all invited to draw from and contribute to this open resource.
