Teach For All

Every child is born with enormous potential.  But around the world, hundreds of millions of children can only dream of realizing that potential simply because of where they were born or how much their family earns. The obstacles they face—poverty, hunger, discrimination, trauma, and school systems that do not provide them with the education they need to thrive—are overwhelming.

It’s unjust. And the results are devastating. When millions of children aren’t learning, it affects us all—perpetuating poverty, dividing societies, and weakening economies. It doesn’t have to be this way. When children have access to quality education, it changes everything. Education, support, and opportunity are essential to enabling all children—and ultimately all nations—to thrive. But the root causes of inequity are both entrenched and complex. No single solution—a new technology, updated curriculum, improved infrastructure—can address the multiple factors that contribute to the systemic challenges that prevent some kids from attaining the kind of excellent education all children deserve.

Given this complexity, we need many people pioneering many solutions and working together to change the status quo for the world’s least advantaged children and ensure a quality education for every child. But around the world, there is little investment in developing the leadership necessary to reshape education systems, strengthen the broader set of services that support healthy development, and challenge the systemic and social injustices that perpetuate inequity. This is the problem Teach For All partners are working to address.

Teach For All is a global network of 59 independent, locally led and governed partner organizations and a global organization that works to accelerate the progress of the network. Each network partner recruits and develops promising future leaders to teach in their nations’ under-resourced schools and communities and, with this foundation, to work with others, inside and outside of education, to ensure all children are able to fulfill their potential.

For over a decade, Deutsche Post DHL Group and Teach For All have collaborated to ensure young people from across our global network are exposed to the world of work. Teach For All's partnership with DPDHL Group has grown from six network organizations at inception to 20 today, reaching thousands of students to develop their employability skills.  

Teach For All network and DPDHL Group employees are improving employability for students of all ages through GoTeach. Together, DPDHL Group, Teach For All’s global organization, and our network partners provide access to resources, experiences, tools, and capacity building and mentoring opportunities that enable students to succeed in a dynamic global economy.
