The work of the National Teaching Committee in relation to
Regional Bahá'í Councils is one of service and assistance, rather than
direction and supervision as it is in relation to regional teaching committees.
A parallel can be seen in the work of a national training institute, to which
the National Assembly assigns the task of developing human resources: the
institute assists the Councils by offering them programmes for the training of
the human resources needed to carry out their plans in each region. The
National Teaching Committee would, similarly, offer services to the Councils in
support of the teaching work.
