OUR
JOURNEY
2009–2022
14 Years Of Impact
Since our inception, Teach For India has transformed the lives of more than 338,200 Students through 2,900+
classrooms led by 9,900+ Fellows across 8 cities.

We continue to build a movement of leaders who work together to ensure children from low-income
communities attain excellent and equitable education. We believe that this is the best route to creating a
nation where every child in India is free of poverty and filled with love.

This year, we were able to advance the movement and unleash the potential of 32,000 Students
through the collective leadership of 970 Fellows.

05
Indian Education Crisis
And Our Impact
The pandemic undid the progress made
by the education system, and the Indian
education crisis needed a rigorous
learning experience to overcome the
learning gap.

Our Fellows stood up for India by

bridging the gap at an accelerated
pace and helped Students catch up to
the original learning path.

Though 2021 was the second year of the

pandemic, our Students curbed and
even overcame learning loss
compared to other children from low-
income communities who have gone
backwards.

Student Learning And
Fellowship Outcomes
As we moved into year 2 of COVID, we continued supporting
Students by strengthening our blended learning program.

We bridged the learning gap for most Students by making learning

accessible with our device distribution strategy, our push for
online learning, and doubling instructional time.

Close to 94% of our Students had some access to devices, with

42% having their own device for 4–5 hours of uninterrupted
learning.

There had been an influx of new Students from other private

schools into our classrooms, with 52% of them joining us in the
last two years.

As of March 2022, Fellows delivered an average of 22 hours of

synchronous (online or in-person) classes and 11 hours of
asynchronous (at-home, self-study) instruction per week.

84% of Fellows leveraged the Fellow Curriculum, our Training

and Impact Team designed to upskill and develop as a teacher
and a leader.

The end-year Fellow Engagement Survey recorded a Net

Promoter Score (NPS) of 16, an 11-point-increase from last
year. It highlights Fellow satisfaction with the culture and support
they have experienced throughout the year.
08
When schools reopened, we saw 87% of our Students
attending classes regularly and 73% engaging with
asynchronous material.

70% of Students grew or maintained their Reading

Comprehension levels through the pandemic and
accelerated to 90% after the schools reopened.

65% of Students were able to increase absolute Math

assessment scores since school reopened due to institute
sessions for Fellows that focused on identifying and
addressing breakdowns in Math.

Parental investment increased to 81%, which also helped

Students achieve better outcomes.

67% of elementary and 85% of secondary grades

Students demonstrated holistic skills and mindsets to
lead their peers and larger communities.

Entrepreneur. Babli's fear of Math, coupled with scepticism about how to
materialize her dreams, held her back. However, her will and desire to learn and
become independent encouraged her to join Aavishkaar's Fellowship program,
where she understood Math concepts and taught in the classroom. She also
understood the idea of "Self" and built the necessary skills to join as staff after
completing the Fellowship. She is now a Teacher Trainer and has worked with
