Teach For Malaysia is an independent, not-for-pro\xef\xac\x81t organisation on a mission to empower our nation
through education. We believe that a child\'s education and future should not be determined by his or her
circumstances in life. Thousands of students don\'t have the chance to realise their potential because of
many socioeconomic factors, like how much their parents earn or where they were born/live.
We recruit, train and support our country\'s rising generation of leaders to teach in high-need schools
across the nation, through our 2030 strategy consisting of 2 \xef\xac\x82agship programmes which is the Teach For
Malaysia Fel owship and Program Duta Guru - our two-year leadership development programmes focused
on growing leaders across the education system. We\'ve impacted over 150,000 students and worked with
the Ministry of Education and other corporate and social sector partners to col ectively bring
transformation to the education system. Beyond the Fel owship and Program Duta Guru, our growing
network of Alumni, education champions and supporters are lifelong advocates for education and
expanding opportunities for students, working as a movement to build an ecosystem of solutions at al
levels of society - from the classroom to the boardroom.
As we celebrate TFM\'s 10-years of existence and impact, we are looking for champions to join our team in
this movement of change - people who share our vision, mission, and core values (Sense of Possibility,
Excel ence, Col aboration, and Integrity) - so that we are able to col ectively work towards expanding our
impact. Alignment to our vision, mission and values are integral to TFM\'s culture, to ensure long-term,
sustainable success and to realise our mission to:
Build a movement of leaders in the education ecosystem to empower all children in Malaysia to realise
their potential
Our col aborative working environment opens up many opportunities for you to expand your network and
lead your own learning, alongside other team members, Fel ows and Alumni, corporate partners, the
Ministry of Education, and other education stakeholders. Teach For Malaysia is also a partner in the Global
Education Network, Teach For Al .

About Program Duta Guru
Program Duta Guru is a two-year development programme to empower teachers to be highly competent
and committed; serving as role models to enhance higher order thinking skil s (HOTS) through STEM
education as a foundation to being a competitive nation. The programme\'s mission is to build upon
existing systems to improve the capability of Malaysian public school teachers in order to enhance
students\' interest and competency in STEM subjects and their higher order thinking skil s.
Many STEM initiatives have been created within Malaysia, targeting different levels of the education
ecosystem. Despite these efforts, STEM enrol ment in Malaysian public schools remains low due to a lack
of interest and competency. One key intervention, as outlined by the government, is to upskil teachers who
play a great in\xef\xac\x82uence on student choices and education outcomes. Program Duta Guru aligns to this.
Teach for Malaysia has been appointed as the implementation partner of Program Duta Guru which is a
col aboration between Yayasan PETRONAS (\xe2\x80\x9cYayasan\xe2\x80\x9d) and the Ministry of Education (\xe2\x80\x9cMOE\xe2\x80\x9d), through
Pusat STEM Negara (PSN).
Program Duta Guru supports teachers in every district in Malaysia through national and regional training
events, as wel as individualised coaching and support. The programme launched in December 2019, the
\xef\xac\x81rst cohort of 150 participants started the programme in June 2020 and the second cohort of 180
participants started the programme in January 2021. Program Duta Guru participants are grouped
according to 6 zones, and each zone is managed by a Programme Coordinator and a team of Pembimbing
Duta Guru (teacher coaches).
