(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Doha April 29 - Teach For Qatar (TFQ) has issued a last call for fresh graduates and young professionals to apply to join their first cohort of teaching Fellows by the final deadline of May 10th.
The local NGO works to re-invest exceptionally talented young people in the public education system to help meet some of Qatar's most pressing education needs. TFQ which launched in March 2014 is seeking Qatar's top graduates who are recognized academically and demonstrate key leadership skills both inside and outside the classroom TFQ said in a press release issued here on Tuesday.
TFQ also encourages young professionals with less than four years' work experience who have proven their ability to be creative inspiring role models at their jobs. While applicants must be bilingual in Arabic and English participation is open to both Qatari nationals and expatriate residents.
"We are delighted with the interest from Qatar's finest young leaders who are looking to give back to this country. With over 200 applications already received we are calling on all those who fit the criteria to do their part in closing Qatar's education gap" said Mohammed Fakhroo CEO of Teach For Qatar.
Fellows who pass the selection process will receive intensive training at TFQ's Summer Institute after which they begin their full-time teaching jobs for a period of two-years in one of Qatar's independent schools. Initially Fellows will be teaching English Math and Science to 7th and 8th graders and will receive ongoing support and mentorship from TFQ's team of experts throughout their two-year teaching placement.
