HIGHER INSTITUTES AND CATECHETICAL SCHOOLS

109 Higher institutes for training in pastoral catechetics should be promoted or founded, so that catechists capable of directing catechesis at the diocesan level, or within the area of activities to which religious congregations are dedicated, may be prepared. These higher institutes can be national on even international. They ought to function as a university 50 far as curriculum, length of courses, and requisites for admission are concerned.

Schools of religious education should also be founded within individual dioceses, or at Least within the area of regional Conferences, in order that, through a curriculum that is less advanced but still effective, full-time catechetical personnel may be prepared.
