"All men of whatever race, condition and age, in virtue of their dignity as human persons have an inalienable right to an education corresponding to their proper destiny and suited to their native talents, sex, cultural background and ancestral heritage. At the same time this education should pave the way to brotherly association with other peoples, so that genuine unity and peace on earth may be promoted. For, a true education aims at the formation of the human person with respect to the good of those societies of which as man, he is a member, and In whose responsibilities as an adult, he will share" (GE1).
