YEREVAN—The annual Teach For All Global Conference will be held from October 21 to 23, 2019 in the Armenian capital of Yerevan. Co-hosted with Teach For Armenia, the conference will gather more than 450 members of the global Teach For All network, including staff, educators, students, supporters and external guests from close to 80 countries.
Many honorable guests are invited to attend the conference’s opening, including Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and the President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian.

Teach For Armenia is a social impact organization founded in 2013 with the sole purpose of transforming Armenia’s public education system so that it is equitable and accessible for all children. The organization works toward this vision by harnessing the energy, enthusiasm, and drive of exceptional leaders from Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora to place great teachers into our country’s most disadvantaged schools and cultivate lifelong champions for educational excellence and change.
Teach For All is a global network of 50 independent, locally led and governed partner organizations and a global organization that works to accelerate the network’s progress. Each network partner recruits and develops promising future leaders to teach in their nations’ under-resourced schools and communities and, with this foundation, to work with others, inside and outside of education, to ensure all children are able to fulfill their potential.
