In this paper we present the educational thought of Jorge Bergoglio from his messages to educational communities between 1999 and 2013, when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires. In these, he reflects a humanistic conception of education and an optimistic and encouraging vision which contrasts with the predominance of technology and competitiveness in the current educational context and with the demotivation and discouragement of many teachers, parents and educators. Bergoglio describes the educational context and its serious challenges, he defines the nature and purpose of education, outlines the essential features of a true teacher and he explains the role that schools should play in the current social and educational context.
