What happens when a society turns its back on public education? In this episode, we look at education’s past and present to uncover the devastating consequences cultures face when public education systems are dismantled or neglected. The loss of education doesn’t just slow progress and economic growth; it threatens the very foundation of a functioning society.

From institutional collapse to dictatorship to war, undermining public education leaves entire generations behind. As threats to equal access continue to grow, it is more important than ever to understand why protecting public education is essential to our future.
