Welcome to our Eduaction Resources Team!
We might be from different countries, educated in different systems, but we have three things in common:
-
We are passionate educators.
-
We see strong language skills and critical thinking skills as important for a sustainable future.
-
We want to assist young adults and parents in learning skills they need for a more rewarding work and personal life.
