Teach for Change

Non-Profit Organisation

Teach For Change is a non-profit organisation working to improve the quality of education in government schools in India. Established in 2014, the organisation runs two programs that address the foundational challenges faced by our government schools.

The flagship volunteer program provides volunteer teachers to government schools which are understaffed and face a lack of leadership. The Smart Classroom program addresses the need to improve the foundational literacy and numeracy among children from low-income communities studying in government schools.
