The education of children in the teachings of the Faith – “should include moral instruction by word and example and active participation by children in Bahá'í community life.”

The education of children in the teachings of the Faith must be regarded as an essential obligation of every Bahá'í parent, every local and national community and it must become a firmly established Bahá'í activity during the course of the Plan. It should include moral instruction by word and example and active participation by children in Bahá'í community life.
