Principles of the Teaching of Bahá'u'lláh:
Universal Compulsory Education

The education of each child is compulsory.... In addition to this wide-spread education each child must be taught a profession, art, or trade, so that every member of the community will be enabled to earn his own livelihood. Work done in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship....

('Abdu'l-Bahá on Divine Philosophy, p. 83)
