More on Catholic Education Principles for Educational Reform in the United States The U.S. bishops address the importance of providing a quality education for all children, whether they are educated in a public, private, or religious setting. Among the issues discussed are parental rights and responsibilities; students as the central focus of all education; quality teaching as essential to the learning process; the moral and spiritual needs of students; and the government's role in providing adequate resources for the attainment of a quality education. The bishops conclude by calling on all partners in the educational community to join in a collaborative and constructive dialogue on how best to work toward this common goal.
