La situación actual de "emergencia educativa". Una visión desde la experiencia de Benedicto XVI.

Before he was elected to become the Pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had been working as a university professor for many years, and even today he is passionate about education. In this article, we examine some of the Discourses and Letters focused on education that Pope Benedict XVI has addressed during the first four years of his Papacy, in which the one-time professor deals with matters closely related to education, its specific purpose, the difficulties that education faces nowadays, and their main causes. These texts can be considered as valuable contributions to understanding some aspects of the present educational crisis, which Benedict XVI describes as a time of "educational emergency".
