Teach For Nigeria Fellowship 2024

The Teach for Nigeria fellowship program is a two-year, full-time, paid commitment that’s designed to build a movement of leaders who’ll work towards eliminating educational inequity in Nigeria.

The Fellowship Experience

• Where you teach:
  • You’ll be placed as a full-time teacher in a public or low-income private school.

  • The average number of students taught by each Fellow is 140.
  • You might be a class teacher, teaching all subjects, or a subject matter specialist teaching specific subjects like English, maths, or science.
