A brief on Teach For India:


Teach For India is a movement of outstanding graduates and young professionals who, in the short term, teach students coming from low-income backgrounds, full-time for a period of 2 years in under-resourced schools. In the long term, these Fellows will become global leaders and advocate for educational equity across India. 



There are currently close to 500 Fellows teaching 16,000 students in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai. Our 200 alumni are spread across India and the world, working with organizations such as McKinsey, Leader's Quest, NIIT Foundation, Akanksha etc. and studying at universities such as Harvard, Chicago Booth, Kellogg, Columbia and Cornell.
