There’s no single solution to a problem as systemic and complex as educational inequity—addressing it requires many solutions, from many directions. No matter what the approach, we believe that there’s one indispensable factor to effecting true, enduring change—and that is leadership. TFN will develop strong, collaborative, determ

ined leaders who understand the root causes of inequity and are committed to challenging it. Theory of Change

We seek outstanding leaders who are passionate about making a lasting impact in the lives of students in Nigeria’s most underserved areas. These carefully selected individuals – known as Fellows – are placed in high-need schools across Nigeria for two years, working to improve students’ academic achievement, attitudes and aspirations that unlock opportunities in higher education, careers, and their personal lives and to affect positive, sustainable change within the communities they serve. After two years, Fellows become part of Teach For Nigeria’s Alumni movement, working to make systemic, long term changes in the fight against education inequity.

What does educational equity look like on the ground in Nigeria Schools?

Opeyemi walked into a community junior high school in Lagos and refused to leave any child behind.

Lanre, who once struggled with mathematics at 35%, climbing to 52% and standing at the board with confidence to solve mathematical problems in the presence of his peers

Favour, a student receiving the right support through patient collaboration with school authorities and a counsellor.

Through the work of Opeyemi, forty girls completed a mentorship and confidence-building programme that culminated in a mini exhibition attended by over seventy students from other schools.

Attendance in Mathematics went from 60% to 100%. Learning became participatory. And one fellow proved that when teachers are well-equipped and deeply committed, transformation follows.

This is the work of Teach For Nigeria. This is why we exist. You can help do more!
