<\/span><\/span><\/span>Teachers are the backbone of the education system, but they are often overlooked. Statistics show that new teachers rarely remain in the profession beyond their first year, and yet, few education improvement programs are aimed to support them.\u00a0A student\u2019s success is traced directly to their teachers, which is why ICNA Relief has created the EMPOWER Grant, so they have the means to form a legacy of great students.<\/span><\/p>\n
