Who we are

At Teach For India, we believe that at the root of the education crisis lies a leadership crisis. There is a severe deficit of people within the Indian education system who are committed to working together to improve the capacity and quality of our nation's schools. The fact is that teachers alone cannot solve this crisis; we also need excellent school principals to support those teachers, informed parents to stay engaged with the teaching-learning process in schools, visionary bureaucrats and politicians to create an environment that enables principals and teachers to thrive, active civil society leaders to hold stakeholders accountable, and committed corporate leaders to mobilise the necessary resources to support school systems.

Teach For India exists precisely to fill this deficit of leadership in education.
