Teach for Nigeria: Transforming Education, Empowering Leaders
Teach for Nigeria is committed to building a network of passionate leaders dedicated to closing the education gap in the country. Millions of Nigerian children lack access to quality education, limiting their opportunities for a better future. Teach for Nigeria aims to change this by breaking the cycle of poverty and ensuring every child has access to quality learning, which is essential for national development.
The Teach for Nigeria Fellowship
The Teach for Nigeria Fellowship is a two-year leadership program designed to equip Fellows with skills that go beyond the classroom. It prepares them to drive meaningful change within communities and the education system as a whole. After completing the Fellowship, alumni go on to become educators, policymakers, advocates, and entrepreneurs, using their experience to push for long-term improvements in Nigeria’s education sector.
Recruitment and Selection Process
The Recruitment, Selection, and Matriculation unit is responsible for identifying and enrolling passionate young graduates and professionals into the two-year Fellowship. Candidates who successfully pass the final assessment are officially inducted through a structured onboarding process that helps them understand the program’s vision and expectations.
Who Can Apply?
To be considered for the Fellowship, applicants must complete the eligibility form with accurate details. A valid email address is essential to ensure proper communication about the next steps. Candidates who meet the eligibility requirements will receive an email with further instructions.
How to Submit a Strong Application
Since the Fellowship is highly competitive, submitting a well-prepared application is crucial. The application is the first impression you make on the selection team, and a strong submission increases your chances of advancing to the next stage. Here are some tips:
- Read the instructions carefully before you start your application.
- Showcase your leadership potential by sharing experiences that demonstrate initiative, problem-solving, and impact.
