Mission Our mission is to end inequality in education by building a community of exceptional leaders who create change within classrooms, schools and across society.
Description If you grow up in a low-income community, your chances of future life success are limited. We want to change that.
Teach First is a charity that works towards a day where every child has the education they are entitled to. We find and develop great people to become inspirational leaders in the classroom, in schools and across all sectors of the economy.
Our trainees join our Leadership Development Programme. Through the programme, we support them to become qualified teachers, to gain a fully-funded Postgraduate Diploma in Education and Leadership and go on, if desired, to gain a Master’s.
We also introduce them to some of the most influential organisations and experts in the professional world –a diverse range of connections who share our commitment to ending educational inequality and value the skills and experiences our participants gain.
