Promotion of site in terms of having people promote the site.

In my country many students suffer to get information regarding education.Wikipedia can help improve their marks as a program can help them.The program would have unemployed youth promote the site as voluntary, this work need to work hand in hand with the department of education rather than them having to have a new app or site Wikipedia would be their source of information like a search box where learners can access information.
