In these institutions, recognized as Christian minority institutions, the religious beliefs of all students are treated with respect, students learn to value inter-religious collaboration and acquire basic understanding of respect for the faith, vision of the members of the diverse religious communities, while deepening their own response to God Jesuit education is Inspired by the vision of man drawn from the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, who symbolizes love and forgiveness of God, who lives in solidarity with all who suffer and pour out his life in the services of others for the total and integral liberation of human person leading to participation in the life of God himself. Jesuit education is also based on the principles of character formation elaborated by St. Ignatius of Loyola. “While it respects the integrity of academic disciplines, then concern of Jesuit education is preparation for life…….Jesuit education is also concerned with the ways in which students will make use of their formation within the human community in the service of others.
‘The goal of Jesuit education in today’s understanding of Ignatian world view is not to prepare sociology-economic elite but rather to educate leaders in service.’ (The characteristic of Jesuit Education # 37, 110) Jesuit education system is a failure if the student moves out from its institution “without having grown in his sense of the divine reverence of the sacred, respect for human life, compassion for the poor, concern for justice, awareness of oppressive social structure and commitment to help build a more just and more human community ” (Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach SJ, Superior General of the Society of Jesus) This vision and the principles of character formation give Jesuit institutions a specific character and set before their staff and students the sense of divine, the ideals of humanism and service towards which they are invited continually to strive.
