A FAREED ZAKARIA GPS SPECIAL: RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM – FIXING EDUCATION – Airs Saturday 8:00PM – 9:00PM and 11:00PM, Sunday 2:00AM
American primary and secondary education were once envied by much of the world, but over the last few decades U.S. students have fallen behind – while students in other countries have benefitted from improvements to their educational systems. CNN and TIME magazine’s Fareed Zakaria interviews innovative and creative leaders working on solutions to fix what ails American education. Zakaria guides viewers through tours of what is working in education in countries with high rankings – to South Korea where students have more classroom time; and Finland, where professionalization of the teacher workforce has improved educators – in order to mine ideas for what could put U.S. education back on the right track. Featured in the special are: Microsoft founder and education philanthropist Bill Gates, founder of the online Khan Academy Salman Khan, NYU Professor, former Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education, and author (The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education, 2010) Diane Ravitch, and Michelle Rhee, former chancellor of D.C. Public Schools, who now leads StudentsFirst.
