2.2.3 Teach For All
Teach For All is a global network, currently comprising more than 50 independent, locally led and funded partners with a shared vision to develop collective leadership in classrooms and communities in order to ensure that all children can fulfill their potential. The organization aims to ensure that students gain the skills, awareness, agency, and mindset they require to enter the world of work and pursue meaningful careers, to grow as civic leaders and to be in a position to shape a better future for themselves and all of us.
Teach For All network partners recruit and develop promising university graduates and young professionals with diverse backgrounds to commit to teach for two years in under-resourced schools and communities. Today, network organizations are placing 14,600 teachers in under-resourced schools in their countries, and supporting the continued leadership development of 75,000 alumni. These teachers and alumni are transforming life chances for children by developing solutions to local challenges in the classroom and beyond. On average, more than 70% of their alumni continue to work in education, while still others work in other fields to improve the quality of life in low-income communities. These network alumni are launching social enterprises, assuming responsibilities in government ministries, and taking on diverse leadership roles within classrooms, schools, businesses, and communities.
Through the network’s shared approach, Teach For All partners strive for both immediate and long-term impact: developing effective teachers to provide quality education and expanded opportunities for marginalized students today, and investing in their development as collaborative leaders who will continue to pursue lasting change for children, within and beyond the education sector, throughout their careers.

2.2.4 Main stakeholders
Stakeholders are all agencies, organizations, groups or individuals that have a direct or indirect interest in the GoTeach program and/or contribute to achieve the goals of GoTeach. Our main stakeholders – thus, all people, groups or institutions that are affected by GoTeach, and/or which could influence it – need to be involved from the beginning to ensure for the successful planning and implementation of GoTeach activities.
- Employees: The Group aims at becoming Employer of Choice within its industry. More than half a million people work for DPDHL. Employees are and will remain the key to the success of GoTeach. Each and every individual is encouraged to bring his or her skills, experience and dedication to the purpose of making GoTeach the best possible program for children and young people of our target group.
- DPDHL Country Managers: Managers expect that the GoTeach program will support local communities as well as local economic conditions. Country Managers must be convinced of GoTeach’s goals as they provide necessary resources and motivate their employees to take part.
- Representatives of public administration, associations, other NGOs: governmental and non-governmental organizations with which we cooperate on national level. Examples: cooperation with the Ministry of Education in Madagascar, programs in cooperation with the Federal Employment Agency in Germany to get target group into work.
- Other organizations: Other companies may offer programs in the same field and for the same target group. Possible synergy effects through cooperation that scale solutions to improve employability skills of young people.
- DHL UK Foundation: The DHL UK Foundation is a registered charity working in partnership with the DHL businesses in the UK, charity partners and UK-based employees of DHL to help young people reach their potential. The partnership with Teach First from the Teach For All network aligns with Deutsche Post DHL’s global GoTeach program with Teach For All and is part of the DHL UK Foundation’s commitment to the education and employability of young people in the UK.
