National Teachers Corps
The National Teacher Corps was a federally funded Great Society program established as part of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to provide teachers to poverty stricken areas of the United States. Originally part of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, the National Teacher Corps survived until 1981, when it was folded into an educational block grant as part of the Reagan Administration's New Federalism effort to trim the Federal budget.
