Students in Bulgaria score lower on average in reading, math and science compared to peers in developed economies. They face greater inequity in access to quality education and fewer young adults pursue training, higher education or employment, compared to peers in the EU. Teach For Bulgaria believes in the potential of every child. Transforming school leadership and teaching methods will ensure that every student has access to quality education to develop key skills and knowledge for success.

This project raises funds for the development of a methodology for teaching Bulgarian to students in primary school (grades 1-4) who are not yet fluent in the language. There is an urgent need for such a methodology, which will provide an equal start at school for children whose mother tongue is different from Bulgarian. At the moment TFB teachers are working with 1823 students who are in such situation and would benefit from this project, with more likely to be reached in the coming year.

Teach For Bulgaria (TFB) teachers work in some of Bulgaria's most high-need schools and communities, where the majority of children often lack access to quality education due to socio-economic factors, such as their ethnicity, family structure, the level of education attained by their parents, and family's financial situation. By supporting these teachers, financially and through trainings, TFB enables students' success in the classroom and beyond. Your contribution makes this possible!
