⚠️ Draft figures as of April 2026 — to be confirmed by TFU leadership before launch (see docs/audit.md §2).
Academic outcomes
Based on 37 individual Fellow Impact Reports, students in Fellows’ classrooms showed an average academic gain of +14.3% — 15.3% in Cohort 1, 14.0% in Cohort 2 — with more than 360 students improving by over 20%. Internal school monitoring in parts of Kashkadarya recorded gains as high as +21.3%.
How we measure
To measure this rigorously, TFU built its own diagnostic testing system (DT), modeled on PISA: open-ended, real-world application questions rather than rote recall, given at the start and end of the school year to track actual learning growth. In 2025, DT reached 2,506 students — the largest diagnostic testing effort TFU has run to date — across 10+ subjects in both official languages (Uzbek and Russian).
Classroom quality — Panorama Education
TFU uses Panorama Education, the same globally validated survey used across the Teach For All network, to measure classroom quality directly from students. Between the 2024–25 and 2025–26 school years, the survey base grew 3.1x (241 → 753 student responses), and 6 of 7 quality measures improved.
Leadership & community impact
Fellow leadership growth
Fellows self-report significant leadership growth — an average of 3.9 out of 5, rising to 4.1 in Cohort 2 as mentorship and support systems matured.
100+ school & community initiatives
Reaching 958+ students, parents, and community members — from STEM and IT clubs to literacy programs, financial literacy training, and civic-education projects.
Recognition
Teach For Uzbekistan is an official partner of the global Teach For All network, which it joined in September 2024. The network is active in 63 countries.
What’s next
TFU’s first cohort of 12 Alumni graduated in June 2026 — the program’s first full two-year cycle. We plan to expand to two more regions, Fergana and Namangan, by the end of 2027, and to place Fellows in every region of Uzbekistan by 2030.
