WHO WE ARE

Teach First Sri Lanka is a social impact organization tackling the key factors contributing to the crisis in Sri Lankan schools.

We are educators ourselves, many of us having spent years in the classroom, advocating for equitable access to high-quality education for every child.

We are dedicated to generating innovative ideas for improving public education and translating that knowledge into action. We aim to catalyze systemic change by engaging all stakeholders in our mission.

Vision

All children, irrespective of demographic background, receive
a high-quality, holistic education to achieve their full potential.

Mission

Empowering students, educators and parents to
transform education through collective leadership.

CHANGE IS POSSIBLE WHEN
THE DESIRE FOR CHANGE IS
COMBINED WITH ACTION

OUR VALUES

Change springs from
the power of hope

Hope is the catalyst for change. It fuels our belief in a world where  access to an excellent education is a universal right. We believe in the transformative power of education to unlock human potential. Join us in igniting hope in every classroom, empowering our children to shape a brighter future. We embody hope.

Change requires collective leadership

Systemic change can only happen when there is an acceptance that we are all in this together.  If the challenge of the future affects each and every one of us, then it stands to reason that every one of us are, and must be, part of the answer. TFSL values integrity, empathy and diversity at every level.

CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE

Adaptability, continuous learning and innovation is the key to unlocking our future. TFSL’s learning model, curriculum and educator professional development incorporate global best practices while leveraging local partners’ insights. The educational experience must evolve to foster a culture of lifelong learning.
