👩 🏫 Why get involved ?

Today in Belgium, educational inequities continue to grow. At 15 years old, the difference between a student with a high or low socio-economic index is estimated at an average of 3 school years. In Brussels, more than 50% of pupils are already at least one year behind at the end of the 3rd year of secondary school and 11% of pupils leave school without any qualifications. Joining Teach for Belgium means committing to a better future for these students !
