Teach For Bangladesh is looking for our country’s most promising leaders to take on the challenge of rebuilding our nation. Their admissions process is highly selective, and they normally admit less than 6% of applicants. Successful candidates typically demonstrate a proven record of academic excellence and non-academic leadership, alignment with their core values and mission, strong critical thinking skills and the ability to overcome challenges. Candidates must also be proficient in both Bangla and English, and communicate compellingly.
In Bangladesh – and around the world – children are not in control over their destinies. Their opportunity to succeed personally, academically and professionally is limited by the socio-economic condition of their families. Tens of millions of children in Bangladesh are denied high-quality education as a result of an inequitable system.
Teach For Bangladesh envisions a society in which all children receive an excellent education that empowers them to realize their full potential and shape their own future through talent and hard work.
