About Teach For Australia
At age 15, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are on average almost three years behind their counterparts from high socioeconomic backgrounds. Teach For Australia’s vision is of an Australia where all children, regardless of background, attain an excellent education. We work towards this vision by recruiting highly competent individuals from diverse academic backgrounds and training and developing them to become exceptional teachers and inspirational leaders that meet the needs of schools in low socioeconomic communities and the broader education system. By 2020, Teach For Australia aspires to partner with schools in all states and territories, be nationally renowned for developing leaders in classrooms and schools and across the education sector and have sustainable government and non-government funding streams.
