Education has been one of the fundamental pillars of the Catholic Church's mission throughout its history. From the founding of the first universities in the Middle Ages to the development of a global network of schools, institutes, and universities, the Church has played a crucial role in transmitting knowledge, providing integral formation, and developing critical thinking. But Catholic education is not limited to transmitting academic knowledge; it seeks to form the whole person, cultivating their spiritual dimension, their ethics, and their social commitment. In this chapter, we will analyze how the Church has influenced educational development worldwide and how it adapts to the challenges of the twenty-first century.
