Education is fundamental to an equitable society. An excellent education equips children and youth with the knowledge, skills, values, and mindsets needed to be empowered individuals and responsible citizens. The fact that a high-quality education has wide-ranging benefits for individuals and societies has been demonstrated, time and again, by countries across the world. With nearly 1 in 4 people below the age of 14 years, India today stands at an inflection point; where we go from here depends in large part on our ability to provide equal opportunities for all children to attain an excellent education.
The truth is that today, more than 50% of students in Grade 5 cannot read a Grade 2 text or solve a simple subtraction problem. The truth is that today, the socio-economic circumstances that a child is born into determines the type of school she attends, the kinds of co-curricular opportunities that are available to her, the quality of life outcomes she attains as an adult, and the kinds of opportunities she passes on to her own children.
The truth is that today, we are failing the majority of our children.
Spanning eight cities, Teach For India holds a critical role in the country’s educational reform efforts. Since 2009, Teach For India has fuelled the education landscape with the talent needed to drive change and is building on proven Student impact across India: graduation rates, reading levels, child safety and more. We are now working to build a movement of 50,000 leaders by 2032, working collectively with love to transform the lives of 1 in 10 low-income children in our regions through an education that unleashes the potential of Self, Others, and India.
We invite people to partner with us on our journey to collectively equip children and educators and build on the impact and growth required for creating an equitable education ecosystem. The support we get will help strengthen and scale Teach For India's Core work.
