Teach For Pakistan- Expanding Educational Opportunity
Teach For Pakistan
Teach For Pakistan offers a two year paid Fellowship for outstanding college graduates and young professionals to teach full-time in an under-resourced school. Currently, 20 Teach For Pakistan Fellows are teaching in 3 primary and 7 secondary schools in under-served areas. Inspired by their two years in the classroom, Fellows go on to become lifelong leaders working from across all fields to expand educational opportunity.
Millions of children in Pakistan see their future potential limited due to unequal access to schools and poor quality of schooling. Teach For Pakistan’s mission is to ensure that one day all children in Pakistan will attain an excellent education, enabling them to overcome socio-economic disadvantage and reach their full potential.
Teach For Pakistan seeks to expand access to quality education by engaging Pakistan’s future leaders in the movement against educational inequity at two levels:
•In the short-term, by hiring recent graduates and young professionals to teach for two years in under-resourced schools and enabling them to improve educational outcomes among their students.
•In the long-term, by creating a movement of leaders who, inspired by their experiences in the classroom, develop a lifelong commitment to tackling educational inequity.
The Teach For Pakistan Fellowship is a two year, full-time, paid employment opportunity. We believe that the best and brightest of Pakistan’s youth – graduates from universities such as yours – have the potential to change the life path of students from under-resourced schools through their energy, creativity and leadership. Through the Fellowship, we aim to develop transformational teachers, role models and leaders. Our Fellows will also develop the skills needed to become leaders for life in the movement against educational inequity and have access to Teach For Pakistan’s extensive network of Employer Partners and professional development opportunities.
The Teach For Pakistan Fellowship is a life-changing experience for the children in classrooms as well as the Fellows teaching these students. Inspired by their experiences in the classroom, our alumni will become lifelong advocates for educational equity. From fresh graduates to young professionals, all our Fellows are leaders in the classroom and the community, doing meaningful work, taking responsibility and challenging themselves every day.
While at school, our Fellows are immersed in under-resourced communities. As faculty, they interact with other teachers and the school administration to help improve performance across the school. As teachers, they interact with parents, inspiring them about the potential their child holds and helping lead their child towards fulfilling their potential. Additionally, Fellows also plan and execute a School/Community Development Project to give them experience managing stakeholders, developing project management skills, and implementing a small-scale project.
Beyond the Fellowship, our Fellows will become lifelong advocates for educational reform either directly through continued involvement in the educational sector or indirectly by advocating for educational equality through their involvement in other sectors. Our Fellows will continue to be inspired by their experiences in the classroom and the success of their students, and remain connected to Teach For Pakistan’s vision of ensuring that one day all children in Pakistan shall attain an excellent education.

A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
Too many of Pakistan’s children are denied access to educational opportunities that would enable them to improve their life prospects. Where a child is born determines whether he or she will attend school and whether that educational experience will have any value in later life. With limited access to schools and poor quality of schooling, our children are locked in a cycle of educational inequity and socio-economic immobility.
As citizens of this nation, we can no longer stand by and watch this crisis unfold.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!
We believe that in order to achieve equal educational opportunity for all, we must mobilize future leaders to work towards this vision from all fields and all sectors across Pakistan. We recruit recent graduates and young professionals to teach full-time for two years in under-resourced schools.
Currently we have placed 20 Fellows as full-time teachers in 3 primary and 7 secondary schools. As Teach For Pakistan Fellows, teachers go beyond traditional expectations to help students overcome the challenges they face and perform at their full potential. Inspired by their experiences and their students’ achievement, Fellows gain the conviction that educational inequity is a problem that they CAN and MUST solve. As Alumni, they go on to address the root causes of this injustice, working within education and in key fields including policy, advocacy, business, and social development, with a lifelong commitment to systemic reform.

O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?
Many organizations are working on improving mass education in Pakistan including school networks and teacher training institutes. We collaborate with these partners to share teacher development techniques and to identify teaching positions for Fellows. However, these institutions compete for quality human resource and funding.
What distinguishes Teach For Pakistan is our commitment to change a child’s life path through a two-year intervention by an excellent teacher, and our long-term goal of developing a strong movement of leaders to tackle root causes of educational inequity.
