Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug 12, 2025 / 16:22 pm (CNA).
The government of Buenos Aires province in Argentina will distribute the 168-page book "The Teacher: The Humanism of Pope Francis" in public and private schools, an initiative that seeks to keep his legacy alive and transmit his thought to new generations.
Gov. Axel Kicillof and the archbishop of La Plata (the provincial capital), Gustavo Carrara, were present at the presentation of the book, produced by the province's General Directorate of Culture and Education.
The book seeks to keep alive the legacy of the Argentine pontiff, who died on April 21. With this initiative, the governor stated, the pope's thought will be present in all schools in Buenos Aires province.
The director general of culture and education, Alberto Sileoni, remembered Francis as an "educator who conveyed his teaching through ideas and actions, promoting the pedagogy of inclusion and encounter throughout his life," according to the Argentine newspaper La Nación.
He also described him as "an Argentine concerned about the life of his peoples and a school that embraces, teaches, and leaves no one out."
Religious figures such as Carrara and Father José María Di Paola as well as educator Adriana Puiggrós, who offered her reflective perspective on Jorge Bergoglio's papacy, participated in the development of the book.
The book includes various messages addressed to different sectors of society as well as excerpts from the Global Compact on Education.
The archbishop of La Plata stated that the book "perfectly captures the essence of Francis' thought and is a very valuable tool for conveying the richness of his ideas."
