Is the phrase "succeed to" correct ?
Hi~ what do you think of the meaning of "succeed to" in this context?
As I know, "succeed to" means "follow and replace something" but here it seems not make sense.
Should the phrase "succeed to" be changed to "succeed in" OR am I misunderstood?
Thanks for your help in advance.
The goal is to shift the paradigm in education from focusing on failure to focusing on success. Teachers need to make students aware that the school’s primary goal is to ensure that every student will be successful. This message must go beyond telling students that they can succeed to taking active measures to increase self-control. Students who improve their abilities to focus will experience greater self-control of emotions, behaviors, and the ability to remain on task. Experiencing academic success will increase dopamine, thereby producing a motivation for continued learning and increased life opportunities.

Hi I can imagine why the phrase is used there: the school is implying that it has a history of success. Therefore, the current students are following in the footsteps of those who have been successful in the past. New students succeed to the heritage of the past students But that seems like a rather bold claim.
