Teach for India is a unique educational program. It derives its inspiration from Teach For America.
It is a special initiative where meritorious students teach under privileged students in
government schools. This is some thing unique in India, where many students can’t afford education because of adverse circumstances.
Again, those who attend schools are not functionally literates. As a result, they end up as major failures in life. Ironically, rich and educated can afford good private schools but poor and underprivileged have nowhere to go. It is sad to reckon that government schools don’t possess adequate infrastructure and trained staff to educate future generation of the largest democracy.
Perhaps, this is why, Teach for India holds a special place in Indian subcontinent.
