Teacher Corps

Teacher Corps was a program established in the 1960s aimed at addressing teacher shortages and improving education quality, especially in underprivileged areas. It recruited college graduates to serve as teachers for a few years, providing them with specialized training and support. Participants often committed to teaching in low-income communities, helping to raise student achievement and promote educational equity. The program emphasized both practical classroom experience and ongoing professional development, fostering a new generation of dedicated educators committed to public service and social change.
