Over the past decade, India has made significant progress in the realm of education:

  • Access to primary and secondary school has improved dramatically
  • A growing literacy rate
  • Education as a fundamental right, with the RTE Act of 2009
  • A national dialogue on the need for education, motivated by parental demands and global competitive standards
  • Multiple stakeholders- private and public- working for sustainable, nationwide change.

The Teach For India Fellowship is an opportunity for India’s brightest and most promising individuals, from a diverse range of universities and workplaces, to serve as full-time teachers to children from low-income communities in under-resourced schools.

“I knew that the problems I wanted to solve were much more complex than I could ever fathom but working at the grassroot level, understanding the communities and realities my kids come from, has been an eye-opener for me. The amount I’ve learned these past two years is beyond what I can put into words.”
