Two Possible Challenges

Are we using Information Technology to engage

our students and to help them learn more

have we made efforts to move towards TWO-
WAY INTERACTIVE LEARNING?

 TOP CHALLENGES
Formation of our teachers in faith, Ignatian spirituality, especially for non-
Christian faculty, especially given the limited number of Catholics in some
regions and the diminishing number of Jesuits. Suggestion: Inter-Province
collaboration

Non-Christian secularized context of our students and faculty, especially

students’ changing attitudes. Suggestion: Parent formation.

Inadequate strategies for sharing spirituality with the youth (both Christian
and non-Christian) given their desire for spirituality. Suggestion: Assistancy
Colloquium on the Ministry of Teaching

Development of learning-teaching methodologies that are contemporary,

relevant, and engaged with Ignatian pedagogy
