Teach For India is Now Accepting Applications for Fellowship
Teach for India is inviting fellows for its unique initiative that seeks to deliver quality education to the children who lack the proper access.
It is an established fact that our nation suffers from a lack of quality teachers to cater to the underprivileged section of the society that does not have access to quality educational resources. What we need is to develop programs for catering to such a population of our society.
Teach For India founded by Shaheen Mistri is currently inviting fellows for a two-year paid opportunity. The interested graduates and working professionals will be responsible to provide quality education in partnering schools that lack quality teaching experts. The deadline for the application is 8th March 2020.
Shaheen Mistri, Founder and CEO of Teach For India says, “Through its two-part theory of change, Teach For India builds a movement of the next generation of educators and classroom leaders from our nation, who eventually impact communities through targeted initiatives that reduce the burden of educational inequity in India.”
Since its inception in 2009, Teach For India has received over 75,000 applications from some of the best colleges and universities of India and the world and working professionals from top corporate giants.
The selected fellows will receive a comprehensive foundation training in pedagogy and classroom instructions and will be asked to build an active collaboration with important stakeholders such as teachers, principals, and parents.
Shalini Datta, a former Teach For India Fellow from 2010, shares her experience – “The Teach For India Fellowship has imparted an unwavering sense of integrity, of never slowing down and working relentlessly towards the cause of eliminating inequality of opportunities. That is what we strive to do each day at Aftertaste – empower women from under-resourced communities and enable them to truly break the vicious cycle for them and their families.”
