PROVO, Utah — For five days, Aug. 15-19, thousands of people from around the world were on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, for Education Week.

With the theme of “100 Years of Instruction and Learning: ‘Of Things Both in Heaven and in the Earth,’” the event featured hundreds of presenters teaching close to 1,000 classes on a wide range of topics — including gospel principles, family and marriage relationships, personal development, finance, technology, health and the arts.

Sessions included teachings from the Sunday School, Primary and Young Men general presidencies and a Tuesday devotional with Elder Quentin L. Cook, a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Youth classes and activities and legal continuing education were also available during the week.

The program administrator, Bruce Payne, said attendance is not back up to where it was in 2019, but registration has increased from last year, when about 13,000 people attended in person after an online-only event in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“People are starting to come back and feel more comfortable attending these events. We look forward to the future and getting back to normal,” Payne said. 

During the week, participants “have an opportunity to learn much that will motivate, encourage, strengthen and rejuvenate,” he said.
