In 2006, a group of young leaders working to

reform education in India came together to

seek an innovative solution to end

educational inequity in the country. The group

met with Wendy Kopp, CEO and Founder of

Teach For America about adapting the TFA

model to the Indian context. Shortly

afterwards in 2007 Shaheen Mistri, the

founder and then CEO of the Mumbai based

education charity Akanksha Foundation,

started Teach For India. Akanksha

Foundation’s support has been vital to TFI’s

successful start-up. In June 2009, Teach For

India placed its first cohort of 87 Fellows in

low-income municipal and private schools in

Pune and Mumbai, the program has grown

dramatically in size, expanding to Delhi and

has now placed its third cohort of over 250

Fellows in June 2011 taking the total numberof TFI Fellows to almost 400. Teach For India

currently employs 70 staff members across

three cities.

TFI places Fellows in low income private and

government English medium primary schools.

Approximately 27% of India’s children are

educated in private schools and in contrast to

the West the majority of these schools serve

low income communities and have very

rudimentary infrastructure. Facilities and

standards in schools vary significantly

however; the students in every school are of

high need. Schools are eligible to work withTFI if their monthly fees for students are

below 500 Rs. (US $11). The schools do not

pay Fellows; instead TFI directly employs

them and only fills existing teacher vacancies

within the school system. TFI is working with

the Municipal Commission of Greater Mumbai

(MCGM) to reform and improve all of the

government schools in Mumbai. This is a huge

project and TFI’s Fellows & Staff are involved

in the pro ject’s strategy and implementation,

Fellows provide pilot classrooms for the

project and also training to teachers within

the system.

TFI pays all of the salaries of its Fellows and

Staff. Presently the Government does not

fund any of TFI’s activities and therefore

fundraising is crucial to the success and

survival of the organisation. TFI is funded from

a variety of foundations, trusts, individuals

and events.
