About Elucidate
Teachers are known as the best source of elucidation for people around the world. The United Nation's estimates that to provide every child in the world with quality education would require training nearly 70 million more teachers. They've made it their goal to give every child the education they deserve by 2030. That's a goal worth shining a light on.
