Teach for India Invites Applications for its 2024 Fellowship Program
Teach For India is now accepting applications for its esteemed 2024 Fellowship, offering a transformative opportunity for individuals passionate about making a difference in education. With the application deadline set for March 17, 2024, at 11:59 pm, aspiring fellows can submit their applications through the official portal at apply.teachforindia.org.
This fellowship, open to graduates who will complete their degree by June/July 2024, seeks individuals with a drive to foster educational equity. Applicants, whether citizens of India or Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), are invited to detail their achievements, interests, and motivations for joining the fellowship, highlighting the absence of a requirement for prior teaching experience.
The Teach For India Fellowship is a two-year, full-time commitment, during which fellows are placed in English-medium classrooms in under-resourced government or low-income private schools. As subject or class teachers, they will impact the lives of 40-80 students, striving to bridge educational gaps.
The journey begins with an intensive residential training program focused on curriculum development, lesson planning, classroom management, and student assessment. This preparation equips fellows to excel in their roles and make a significant impact in their assigned schools located in one of eight cities: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, or Pune.
This initiative not only aims to enrich the educational landscape of underserved communities but also fosters personal and professional growth among the fellows. As the final call for applications for the 2024 cohort, Teach For India encourages motivated individuals to seize this chance to contribute to a larger cause and join the movement towards educational equality.
