Resous Politik

AFC travay pou chanje politik edikasyon pou sistèm lekòl piblik la sèvi tout timoun yo efektivman. Nou pibliye rapò politik ak analiz done, temwaye nan vil la ak nivo Eta a, pale nan laprès pou pote atansyon sou defi elèv yo ak fanmi nou sèvi yo ap fè fas a, epi mete ansanm ak lòt defansè, paran, jèn, ak edikatè pou mande chanje.
