In France, 44% of school drop-outs are the children of blue-collar workers, compared with just 5% whose parents are managers or executives. To help address these educational inequalities, Teach for France invites graduates from French universities and colleges to teach in disadvantaged areas for two years.
The organisation, part of the Teach For All network present in 42 countries worldwide, selects, prepares and supports the graduates to help them get jobs within the national education system. They are then placed for two years on a full-time basis in unfilled teaching posts in state schools in disadvantaged areas.
Role of the ENGIE Foundation
The Foundation is funding the recruitment and selection of the 2017-2019 and 2018-2020 cohorts.
