<![CDATA[Christian Education is not only a medium for conveying religious knowledge but also a transformative process that shapes how students think, perceive life, and respond to God’s will. A recurring challenge is the gap between classroom teaching and students’ lived experiences, compounded by the erosion of teacher-student relationships.
