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]
Before the revolution Khomeini was a vocal critic of Science Corps questioning their works and saying they secretly bring influence of American culture.[3]
