TED Talks Education

Public television and TED share a deep commitment to addressing the high school dropout crisis. By joining forces and ideas, we will bring together a diverse group of experts, creative thinkers and entertainers to address this crucially important question on a nationally broadcast, innovative television show.

"TED Talks Education" will present one hour of electric, emotional and thought-provoking television. The speaker program is curated by TED curator Chris Anderson, in the interest of teachers, educational administrators, parents, and students. (Source: PBS)
