Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith wrote:
- "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom."
The Baháʼí teachings focus on promoting a moral and spiritual education, in addition to the arts, trades, sciences and professions. The emphasis on education is a means for social and national improvement. Since all Baháʼís have the duty to do work that is useful to humanity, Baháʼí education is meant to prepare Baháʼís to perform such work.
