III. Conclusion
Catechetical Life: The Teacher in the Catholic School
Let teachers recognize that the Catholic school depends upon them almost entirely for the accomplishment of its goals and programs. They should therefore be very carefully prepared so that both in secular and religious knowledge they are equipped with suitable qualifications and also with a pedagogical skill that is in keeping with the findings of the contemporary world (Gravissimum Edcationis No. 8 & 3).
Catholic Teachers, regardless of subjects they teach, are the best shapers of authentic Catholic worldview. Day in and day out they interact with the students or pupils in a classroom or outside, “in season or out of season.”
Top priority must therefore begin to their ongoing integral evangelization formation program which touches and influences their spiritual, professional, and communal development and formation. In particular, the Religion teachers must get the best academic and professional training, integrated formation, and renewal.
At the same time, all other faculty members will have to go through similar integral evangelization formation programs so that they become not only effective witness but also value formations of their students.
