Wipro Ltd and Michigan State University have jointly announced the launch of a fellowship program in the United States. This is a multi-year program funded by a $2.8 million grant from Wipro, which will involve over a hundred school teachers, with the aim of nurturing excellence in science and mathematics, starting with the public school systems of Chicago.
The program will identify teachers committed to teaching in urban schools after a rigorous selection process, Wipro said in a release today.
The company’s initiative is aligned with the US national goal to significantly improve the quality of education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
All successful participants will earn a Graduate Certificate in STEM Teaching and Leadership recognizing their commitment and expertise in STEM fields in urban education, said Wipro.
