Iranian Science Corps
Science Corps aka Literacy Corps was one of the three corps in Iran managed by Ministry of Education and Ministry of War before the 1979 revolution. They were a public education program part of principle number 6 of white revolution. The Corps trained around 100,000 Iranian students and adults. People hired by Corps were first trained by the Imperial army for 4 months and then employed as teachers and educators by education department and deployed to public schools and villages to serve for a period instead of their conscription.[1][2]
