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.
