maybe the words "fully develop and cultivate" would fit better in here.
Like this:
" . . . quality education for all people and to fully develop and cultivate the potential of the nation's children . . .

To Motivate is the right word.
The other alternatives are:
-To exploit the potential
-To explore the potential

it is well used grammatically.
Would it sound better if you said

Hope this helps.

to expand
to capitalize on
to meet
to exceed
These are just a few suggestions. It depends on exactly what you want to say. However, "to motivate" doesn't make sense.
Check out a thesaurus.

no, 'to motivate' is correct grammatically.
but if you are looking for a better word, 'to increase', or 'to develop' is more appropriate.
good luck with the school!

I would suggest "encourage" or better, "develop" as an alternative to "motivate".
