This Study quote from The Characteristics of Jesuit Education(1986) as a reference document, which is edited by International Commission on the Apostolate of Jesuit Education. Since this commision was organized in 1982 for the first time, the commission drew up a draft through having meetings to self-examinate it repeatedly for four years. And then the commission distribute the draft to the Jesuit parishes and schools to ask reconsideration and re-examination for the draft. The processes for having meetings, making a draft, distributions to all over the world, re-consideration for the draft, and collecting opinions are interconnected with 'Ratio Studiorum'(1599) which drew up about four hundred years ago. It is interesting that the document is now completed sincec 'Ratio in 1586', the first draft, was already birthed four hundred years ago. Not only the members of the commision but the process for drawing up of the document has international chracter.
