Teach For Uganda
The Teach For Uganda STEM Fellowship is a pilot program implemented under the Leaders in Teaching Program, a flagship initiative supported by the Mastercard Foundation and led by the Luigi Giussani Foundation through a consortium of education partners.
The Fellowship responds to a clear and urgent need: Uganda needs more capable, committed, and well-supported STEM teachers, especially women, who can help learners build the skills, confidence, and imagination required for a rapidly changing world.
Through this pilot, Teach For Uganda is recruiting and developing young leaders with strong STEM backgrounds, placing them in secondary schools, and supporting them to become effective teachers, mentors, and role models for learners, especially girls.
This is more than a teaching program. It is a leadership pathway designed to strengthen STEM education, expand opportunity, and help build a stronger teacher pipeline for Uganda’s secondary education system.
Who We Are Looking For
The STEM Fellowship is designed for young leaders who believe that education can change Uganda’s future.
We are looking for graduates and professionals with STEM backgrounds who are ready to teach, lead, learn, and serve in underserved communities.
Ideal candidates are:
- Passionate about education equity
- Strong in STEM knowledge and willing to grow as teachers
- Committed to supporting learners, especially girls
- Open to coaching, feedback, and continuous learning
- Ready to serve in secondary school classrooms
- Motivated to become part of a wider movement for education change
This Fellowship is especially committed to creating pathways for young women in STEM to lead, teach, and inspire the next generation.
