    True Education – Is it Really that Important?

    If we fail to under­stand this, we will never have a place in the kingdom of God,” are the inspired words used to describe the impor­tance and urgency of true edu­ca­tion – a rad­i­cally dif­fer­ent plan of edu­ca­tion for a pecu­liar people.

    True Education: You Mean, There's a False?

    The plan of true edu­ca­tion is simple and applic­a­ble in every sit­u­a­tion. What does it actu­ally mean? How can it be fol­lowed in modern times? This session will cover the prin­ci­ples of true edu­ca­tion in a prac­ti­cal way for parents and teach­ers alike.

    True Education – How do I actually do this?

    Con­vert­ing theory to reality can be a chal­lenge for the busy parent or teacher. Whether you’ve studied true edu­ca­tion for years or are just now hearing the term, this session will provide a simple, applic­a­ble, and prac­ti­cal guide for putting it into practice.

    Que Significa la Verdadera Educación?/What Does True Education Mean?

    Si hay una ver­dadera, debería ser una falsa. Entonces, ¿qué sig­nifica el término ver­dadera edu­cación? ¿Hay real­mente dos sis­temas de edu­cación, y como puede enten­der los padres y mae­stros cual sistema están siguiendo?

    If there is a true, there must be a false. So, what does the term true edu­ca­tion mean? Are there really two systems of edu­ca­tion, and how can parents and teach­ers under­stand which system they are following? 

    Como Aplicar la Verdadera Educación?/How To Apply True Education?

    Quizás la edu­cación ver­dadera parece difícil para aplicar. ¿Como empezar? ¿Como pueden los padres y mae­stros hacer la edu­cación ver­dadera de manera prac­tica? Todos pueden seguir los planes de Dios para educar nue­stros niños para la eternidad.

    Maybe true edu­ca­tion seems dif­fi­cult to apply. How to start? How can parents and teach­ers do true edu­ca­tion in a prac­ti­cal way? Every­one can follow God’s plan to educate our chil­dren for eternity.
