Czech term or phrase: noun.[INSTRUMENTAL] proti/ke noun.[DATIVE]
I'm not sure how to translate phrases (something like mottos) like...

"Komplexním vzděláváním proti ..."

I guess I could just translate that as "Comprehensive education against..." (or "Comprehensive training against...", but would that be alright?

Many thanks for any advice!

Literacy through education
Explanation:
v kladném případě "vzděláním ke gramotnosti" by se dalo přeložit "literacy through education"
IMO "X for Y" není nejvhodnější, ani "X against Y"...
S tím negativním případem si ještě musím polámat hlavu...
