Education is more than a human right; it is the foundation of a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous society. Free, quality primary and secondary education prepares young people to be contributing members of society. As a national charitable organization, the EdCan Network supports the work of kindergarten to grade 12 education professionals, enabling them to better meet the needs of their students. Across our national network, education professionals describe the growing complexity of their work—and that meaningful, evidence‑informed systemic change must start with them.
