Teach for Belgium is a non-profit organisation, founded in 2013, that aims to tackle educational disadvantage by training and supporting young graduates and professionals to become inspiring teachers. Together with other stakeholders in the education system, they aim to tackle the teacher shortage in Maths, Sciences, French and Dutch, felt particularly acutely in schools with students from a low socio-economic background, and so help reduce educational inequities in Belgium.
