Teach First is inspirational. An independent charity, it has helped to place driven and talented teachers in schools in some of the country’s poorer areas – places where, in the past, lack of academic achievement has been taken for granted.
It has trained and supported top graduates to become teachers. These are people who have just graduated from university, or have decided to switch career to join this fulfilling profession. These trainees join Teach First and their university partners for six weeks of intensive training before they teach in a school for at least two years. It’s after this rewarding experience that they get a Post Graduate Certificate in Education.
