Education aims to develop the whole personality of each individual so that he or she has the freedom, skills and success in the physical, artistic and technical, intellectual and spiritual spheres. Education is supposed to impart: knowledge and skills to shape the future, but above all a way of life and a way of thinking. Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with Fr Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

People have many basic needs if they are to develop as fully-fledged individuals: needs for self-fulfilment, needs for esteem (self-confidence and self-respect, recognition, etc.), needs for belonging and love, needs for security, physiological needs (food, etc.).

Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with Fr Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with Fr Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.

Catechesis on the Church, the family and politics, in collaboration with P. Abdon Rafidison.
