Catholic educators must expand their approach to performance assessments, moving beyond academic achievement to include spiritual growth and evangelization, a Catholic archbishop said.
Archbishop Julius Tonel of Zamboanga on Thursday stressed that Catholic schools should not only evaluate students’ academic performance but also their development as better Christians.
The archbishop also shared observations why many vocations in the country do not come from Catholic schools, emphasizing that the responsibility for spiritual formation begins with teachers and faculty. The church official also expressed concern about the lack of participation from some teachers in school Masses.
