Teach For India (TFI) is a non-profit organisation that is a part of the Teach For All network.[1] The fellowship recruits college graduates and working professionals to serve as full-time teachers in low-income schools for two years.[2] Teach For India is striving to end the problem of educational inequity in India and provide excellent education to all children.[3][4][5]
Organisation
The 'Teach For India Fellows' work across 305 schools[citation needed] in seven cities of India - Mumbai, Pune, New Delhi, Chennai, Ahmedabad , Bengaluru and Hyderabad reaching approximately 38,000 students.[6] Teach For India was started in 2008[citation needed] led by Shaheen Mistri who wanted to bring about systemic change in the Indian education sector by infusing committed teachers into the system.[7][8] The group met Wendy Kopp, CEO and Founder of Teach For America (TFA), and following a McKinsey study[citation needed], started adapting Teach For America’s Theory of change in India.[9]
