Answer 1

So, you want a Baha'i quote about education?

"The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom."
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 259)

"But the children of men are in need of education and civilization, and they require to be polished, till they become bright and shining. Man and woman both should be educated equally and equally regarded."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 28)

Answer 2

You may download Ocean, a program that lets you search through the writings of the Baha'i Faith and other religions. Below a statement from the Baha'i International Community. Otherwise there are wonderful quotes from Abdu'l-Baha on the topic.

"The ability to read has been recognized as a fundamental human right in the Bahá'í teachings since Bahá'u'lláh proclaimed his message of universal peace and brotherhood to the peoples of the world in the late nineteenth century. In this view, basic education should be universal and compulsory, boys and girls should follow the same curriculum and, if circumstances make it impossible for a family to educate both a boy and a girl child, the girl's education takes precedence.

These concepts were first applied by Bahá'í communities in Iran. During the early years of this century, when no systematic overall plan of education existed in that country, Bahá'ís organized a widespread educational program for children, youth and adults. This effort resulted in major self-improvement among the Iranian Bahá'ís, including a remarkable level of literacy among both men and women. By the early 1970s, virtually all Bahá'í women aged less than forty in Iran could read and write.

According to the Bahá'í model of social and economic development, the driving force for literacy and other change-inducing activities emanates primarily from the natural stirrings at the grass roots. Desires for self-improvement are voiced through community consultations and take shape as plans in the deliberations of the local governing council. Plans are usually carried out by voluntary efforts of individuals. National governing councils nurture this process by alerting local communities to needs and resources, and by guiding and coordinating the resulting activities. Since 1983 the number of Bahá'í development projects, most of which are small-scale basic education activities in developing countries, has increased from approximately 200 to over 1,400."

Answer 3

You want a statement in a language, or a statement of faith? And finding a solution to education in 2 minutes? Good luck! I'm really not sure what you are looking for. If you've already been to the website, I'm not sure what else can be done for you. Baha'i Faith is a variation on Islam that accepts ALL faiths as valid, at least if I understand it correctly. Just visit a few more of their sites. Maybe you'll come across what you need.
