A NATIONWIDE MOVEMENT OF LEADERS
IN ORDER TO SOLVE ARMENIA’S EDUCATION CRISIS, WE MUST GENERATE A MOVEMENT OF LEADERS WHO WILL PUSH FOR EDUCATIONAL JUSTICE, AND LEADERSHIP STARTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES WITH OUR STUDENTS THROUGH THEIR TEACHERS.
CREATING BRIGHT SPOTS
AT TEACH FOR ARMENIA, WE BELIEVE THAT OUR COMMUNITIES ARE FULL OF INFINITE POSSIBILITIES,* AND OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE POWER TO UNLOCK THAT POTENTIAL.
Through our teachers,
we aim to foster leadership in our students while creating hundreds and thousands of bright spots across the nation that can inspire change across the nation.
REACHING A TIPPING POINT
To create this movement, we must achieve a tipping point.** Sociologists believe that in order to achieve a tipping point, you must reach at least 25% of a given population.***
For that reason, Teach For Armenia aims to reach scale by 2025 by reaching a quarter of all students living in Armenia’s rural communities.
At present, with a presence in 10% of all public schools across the country, Teach For Armenia reaches a fifth of all students living in our rural communities
