„Renkuosi mokyti!“ – “Teach for Lithuania” attracts educated, active, creative and motivated young people to become teachers. The program is one of 36 Teach for All network partners worldwide. Its mission is to help each child learn, especially those in rural or semi-rural communities where children have fewer educational opportunities and score lower on academic measures.
