Teachers

“More than any other group in society, teachers are expected to understand the importance of lifelong education. They must therefore, become the champions of lifelong education … While knowledge is universal, the access to knowledge is not universal and is differential. Teachers are among the leaders in society who are entrusted to create opportunities for access in any way possible”
