With the new school year, Teach for Austria starts with 65 committed fellows in kindergartens and schools. The new vintage is more diverse than ever – and for the first time, fellows are also in use in elementary school: With this, Teach for Austria starts a pilot project for targeted support in elementary schools with particularly major challenges.
“Our Fellows make a contribution to more opportunities for opportunities in the education system every day – with the step to elementary school, we follow our educational work in kindergarten and thus expand our area of activity,” says Severin Broucek, GF by Teach for Austria.
A vintage that lives diversity
The 65 new fellows are an average of 32.7 years old, come from a wide variety of fields of study- from social and humanities to business to MINT subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology)- and have already collected life and work experience. Almost a quarter bring additional languages such as Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Arabic or Turkish – an important contribution to linguistic and cultural diversity in schools.
