Summary/Abstract: Over the centuries, the Church has carried out its educational mission in various ways and in cooperation with many different communities. It has devoted much attention to the practice and theory of education, which, on the one hand, it has built on the values of the Gospel and the dogmatic foundations of Christian education, and on the other hand, the changing realities of society and culture. In the educational thought of the Church, one can clearly see an evolution in the very definition of education, its goals and proposed methods and means, and the understanding of the subjects and contexts of education. In this article, an attempt will be made to present education as articulated in the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. The renewed concept of education developed at the Second Vatican Council, based on pedagogical personalism anchored in Christian anthropology, is the starting point for a pedagogical reflection of the Church after the Second Vatican Council.
