WHO WE ARE
Teach First Sri Lanka (TFSL) is a social impact enterprise tackling the key factors contributing to the crisis in Sri Lankan schools.
We are educators ourselves, many of us as classroom teachers, leading the fight for equitable access to free, high-quality education for all children.
Vision
All children, irrespective of demographic background, receive a high-quality, holistic and inclusive education to reach their full potential
Mission
To empower 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
We believe in the power of hope, that there are endless opportunities for people to lead change and ensure equal access to a high-quality education as a fundamental human right. Hope starts at the highest levels of our organization and trickles down to how we interact with all community stakeholders in our schools. We embody hope at every turn.
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 each one of us are, and should be, part of the answer. Teach First Sri Lanka fosters and values diversity at every level.
CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE
At the core of our journey lies teaching and learning. As lifelong learners, our educational strategies, curriculum planning and professional development practices will evolve as we integrate global best practices and local network partners’ insight. Our goal is to transform the educational experience for Sri Lanka’s future generation of leaders.
