The weekly television show explores everything from the history of public education to the impact of legislation and policy decisions on our public schools. Education Matters is hosted by Keith Poston, President & Executive Director of the Public School Forum of North Carolina.

"Education Matters will provide a window into the classroom that is often lacking from typical media coverage or political debates."
