TFSL IS TACKLING THE CRISIS IN OUR CLASSROOMS.

Our mission is to empower students, educators, and parents to transform education through collective leadership, creating a world where every child, regardless of their background, receives a high-quality education to reach their full potential.

We know our current education system fails on many levels. Decades of under-investment and political indifference have left our children with deteriorating facilities, antiquated curriculum and an acute shortage of teachers in essential STEM subjects. Together, we must find ways to radically improve the quality of public education for our children, and our nation, to thrive.

 

JOIN US ON THIS JOURNEY TO TRANSFORM OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND REBUILD OUR COUNTRY ONE STUDENT, AND ONE CLASSROOM, AT A TIME.

Letter from the board

Hi – we need a new leader.

Are you that one in a million individual?

A dreamer, changemaker and hard-eyed realist determined to make the world a better place?

You could be the next CEO of Teach First Sri Lanka!

On behalf of TFSL’s Board of Directors, I invite you to participate in the search for the most important human being we haven’t met yet – the visionary leader who’s going to change the lives of millions of Sri Lankan children.

TFSL IS LOCALLY ROOTED,
BUT GLOBALLY INFORMED

We draw on global best practice tailored to meet the specific needs of under-resourced schools across Sri Lanka. Working with local parents, educators and school leaders, we implement a modern, holistic approach to education that positively impacts thousands of children’s lives — inside and outside the classroom.

Investing in our young people creates a brighter future for us all.

Change 
Lives as a leader.
Lives as a teacher.

Joining the TFSL Fellowship Programme means you can make a meaningful impact on the education of children in Sri Lanka while developing the essential leadership skills to propel your career forward.

THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY YOU CAN HELP
OUR CHILDREN GET THE EDUCATION THEY NEED

You can volunteer your time and expertise to mentor a Fellow, make a financial donation to support a child’s education
or your organisation could partner with TFSL to bring about the change our children so desperately need.
