Gravissimum Educationis

Gravissimum Educationis is the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Christian Education. It was promulgated on October 28, 1965 by Pope Paul VI, following approval by the assembled bishops by a vote of 2,290 to 35. The title means "The Importance of Education" in Latin and is drawn from the first line of the declaration, as is customary with Roman Catholic documents. (The full text in English is available from the Holy See's website.)
