Teach For Bulgaria (TFB) teachers work in some of Bulgaria's most high-need schools and communities, where the majority of children often lack access to quality education due to socio-economic factors, such as their ethnicity, family structure, the level of education attained by their parents, and the family's financial situation. By supporting these teachers through training and mentorship, TFB enables students' success in the classroom and beyond. Your contribution makes this possible!
In Bulgaria, 54% of all 15-year-olds in the country are functionally illiterate, according to the 2022 PISA results, ranking the country in last place in the EU. This disproportionately affects children from minorities and low-income families, and those living in rural areas who fall behind their city peers by up to 3 years. Novice teachers are unprepared to face these challenges, and 90% leave the profession in the first 5 years. All of this limits students' success in the classroom and beyond.
TFB teachers are motivated by the belief in the success of every child. They are trained and certified in a combination of traditional pedagogy and contemporary teaching approaches, in order to provide opportunities for learning to every student in the classroom. TFB supports novice teachers through training, one-on-one coaching and evaluation, and professional development opportunities that help them become educational leaders capable of driving system change.
TFB believes that every child can succeed if they are supported, motivated, and allowed access to diverse learning opportunities. By recruiting, training and supporting motivated novice teachers in high-need schools, TFB cultivates promising talent in the education sector, both directly in the form of human capital and through the sharing of developed best practices in teacher training and teaching approaches in the classroom.
