Introduction of the Lasallian Education Council

Background

The Superior General and Council of the Institute in Rome asked the different sectors of the Institute to establish Lasallian Education Councils (LEC) to promote and strengthen the Lasallian educational vision and mission. Each LEC shall consist of both Brothers and lay members of the Lasallian Family with 'Voice and Vote'.
