Teach For Malaysia

We're on a mission to end education inequity in Malaysia.

What is education inequity? 
A child’s origin often determines the quality of his or her education, and therefore the choices that become available to them later in life. Teach For Malaysia believes that this distinct relationship between socio-economic disadvantage and weak educational outcomes is a critical challenge for our nation.

We recruit, train and support the country’s most promising future leaders, who teach as Fellows in high-need classrooms all over the nation. After the two-year Fellowship, they continue to drive systemic impact and transformational change within and beyond the classroom, as part of the Alumni movement.
