Welcome, Rebecca. There's 'transmit', and 'bequeath', but neither of these specifically refers to knowledge.

Well, the metaphor commonly used is to pass on the torch of knowledge or wisdom even; the latter is commonly understood to be abiding ideas. Though I realise that doesn't answer the question. I think words like 'transference', 'conveyance' and 'communication' aren't too bad. 'Propagation' might give it a bit of a negative connotation. But then what happend to good ol' 'education'?
