Title: Teach for Nigeria Fellowship Program

Location: Nigeria

About The Teach For Nigeria Fellowship

• The Teach For Nigeria Fellowship program is a 2 year full-time paid commitment that is designed to build a movement of leaders who will work towards eliminating educational inequity in Nigeria.
• The fellowship is an opportunity for Nigeria’s brightest and most promising individuals to serve as full-time teachers to students from underserved communities in some of the nation’s most under-resourced schools.
• As a Fellow, you will set targets and work towards ambitious goals that will put your students on a different life path. The experience will not only develop your leadership skills but also give you first-hand exposure to the educational crisis in our country. It will help you develop an awareness of the wider issues relating to educational inequity – and deepen your understanding of their potential solutions.
• We believe every child has the right to develop the academic excellence, and mind-sets to thrive in the  classroom while gaining access to opportunity to determine their own pathways and meaningfully engage  with their communities. Therefore, we ground our  teacher and leadership development training on outcomes and strategies that will  transform the educational trajectory of the students we serve through a rigorous and extensive training program which begins with a six weeks Training Institute.
• Through the two years Fellows receive ongoing support through a combination of in-person training sessions, leadership forums, as well as online training courses and resources. Additionally, we will build partnerships with key public and private sector entities in order to develop pathways to accelerate alumni leadership in critical areas.
• After the two-year program and as an Alumni, you will be supported to use these skills and knowledge to advocate for and lead educational reform in whichever path you choose.
