Armenia is facing an educational crisis: there are 600+ teacher vacancies in the system annually, half of the current teacher workforce will retire within a decade, one third of primary-aged students are functionally illiterate, and less than half of students make it to high school.
THAT IS WHY WE MUST ATTRACT THE NATION’S TOP TALENT IN ORDER TO SOLVE ARMENIA’S GREATEST CHALLENGE.
Teach For Armenia’s entire strategy focuses on the development of human capital.
We focus on the single most important key ingredient upon which everything will rise or fall: leadership development.
In short, we invest in people.
STRIVING TO BE THE BEST PLACE TO WORK
In order to attract the nation’s top talent, we strive to be the best place to work – not just in Armenia, but the world.
With that aim, Teach For Armenia consistently ranks at the top in Boston Consulting Group’s global Engaging For Results (EFR) staff satisfaction survey:
