At 25 years old, Jack Anderson is working to transform Australia’s education system as we know it. As the 2025 Global Humanitarian of the Year for Australia, the 2025 WA Young Australian of the Year, a 7-time author and the Co-Founder of one Australia’s largest education not-for-profits, Elucidate Education, Jack has provided more than 100,000 marginalised students with equitable access to the textbooks, online content and educational videos they need to succeed in school. To achieve this, Jack currently leads more than 75 volunteers across Australia to produce education resources for tens of thousands of marginalised young Australians. Most notably, he has led the publication of six, best-selling not-for-profit Year 12 textbooks in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. These textbooks are sold on a two-for-one donation model, where the proceeds from every two sales are used to produce and donate a third textbook to a school in a low-socioeconomic area. Through this innovative model, every six months he runs rural donation trips to the most remote parts of Western Australia to donate hundreds of textbooks and laptops to rural and Indigenous students who struggle to afford basic schooling items. Every week, Jack receives countless emails from students and teachers across Western Australia, sharing how transformative his resources have been for their learning, with many reporting grade improvements of 20% to 30%. Driven to bridge the education inequality gap in rural Australia, in 2024 Jack pursued his Masters of Education Technology at the Harvard Graduate School of Education on Harvard’s most prestigious full-ride scholarship called the Frank-Knox Memorial Fellowship, which only 15 people in the world win. Jack was also one of Australia’s youngest Harvard University Teaching Fellows, teaching Fluid Mechanics and Entrepreneurship units at the Harvard Engineering School. Jack is now pursuing a Masters of Global Affairs at China’s top university, Tsinghua University, as a Schwarzman Scholar, which one of the most competitive graduate fellowships in the world. In the future, Jack plans to use both his entrepreneurial and policy capacities to transform Australia’s education system so that one day, regardless of the postcode you are born into, every student has an equal opportunity to succeed in school. Beyond the thousands of hours Jack has dedicated to building Elucidate Education, he is an altruist at heart and has raised more than $50,000 for local West Australian charities that don’t receive government support. He has done this by founding creative community fundraisers that include a Male Mental Health Gala Night, 24-Hour Pull-Up Challenge and cinema screenings of his documentary ‘Realising Dreams’. He was also cast for Australia’s only charity-based television show, Adventure All-Stars. In this television show, he was the KIDS Foundation All-Star and volunteered my time to raise $10,000 that was used to support countless Australian children who have suffered life-threatening burns from bushfires. For his excellence in the fields of education and volunteering, Jack has been recognised as the 2025 Global Humanitarian of the Year for Australia and the 2025 WA Young Australian of the Year along with previously being the 2023 Mission Australia Changemaker of the Year, the 2022 7NEWS Young Achiever of the Year for Community Service, the 2022 University of Western Australia Volunteer of the Year, the 2022 Curtin University Innovator of the Year for Teaching, and a 2023 Australia Day Council Young Community Citizen of the Year.
