Pass on knowledge through group of schoolchildren (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inform

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pass on knowledge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'through group of schoolchildren' is the wordplay.
'through' becomes 'in'.
'group of schoolchildren' becomes 'form' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in'+'form'='INFORM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inform that I've seen before include "Give knowledge to" , "Put wise" , "Brief" , "Provide facts - playing well" , "effective" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
