CEP – EDUCATIONAL AND PASTORAL COUNCIL
CEP – Educational and Pastoral Council
The CEP Council (Educational and Pastoral Council) plays a central role in the life of our Salesian school, DBT. It is the body of shared responsibility where Salesians and lay collaborators discern, plan, and evaluate together the mission of the school.

Within the Reference Framework of Salesian Youth Ministry
the CEP is described as the “brain and heart of the educational and pastoral community (CEP).” Its main functions are:
Planning and Implementation
The CEP develops, updates, and follows up the Salesian Educational and Pastoral Project (PEPS), which guides all aspects of the school’s work: academic, technical, pastoral, cultural, and spiritual.
Coordination of Technical and Pastoral Dimensions
In a technical school, the CEP ensures that professional training is not reduced to mere technical competence, but is integrated with values, ethics, and personal accompaniment. It harmonizes workshop life, classroom teaching, and pastoral initiatives.
Community Animation
The CEP involves teachers, trainers, catechists, and pastoral animators in building a spirit of family, ensuring that the educational climate is marked by trust, reason, religion, and loving kindness.
Evaluation and Renewal
The CEP periodically evaluates educational outcomes, pastoral vitality, and vocational initiatives, making the necessary adjustments so that the institution remains both technically competent and authentically Salesian in spirit.
Shared Mission and Identity
The CEP ensures that the technical school remains faithful to Don Bosco’s Preventive System and to the Salesian mission of forming “good Christians and honest citizens.” It roots educational and technical formation in an evangelizing and humanizing perspective.
The CEP Council in a Salesian technical school is the body of leadership and discernment that ensures the integration of technical formation with Salesian pastoral formation, keeping Don Bosco’s mission alive in the world of work and vocational education.
