Pope Francesco
Speech to UMEC-WUCT

Brothers and Sisters in/of UMEC-WUCT

I’m both humbled and proud to be enabled to be at your service as the Chair of the World Union of Catholic Teachers and to have the privilege to be the successor of Guy Bourdeaud’hui. Especially in a disruptive time with major challenges in all our societies, worldwide. Teachers take the lead and own the critical capacity to cope with the major targets in society: Sustainability, Freedom and Justice, and to deliver the appropriate responses to the multiple crisis of this and next decades. The future of Education will depend on… Teachers!
