Public Education: Unbridled or Unraveling?

Kentucky to the World Presents Global Education Strategist Dr. Vicki Phillips (and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom Matthew Barzun) What was once one of our greatest national resources, public education, is in danger. On March 7, Kentucky native Dr. Vicki Phillips will join former U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom Matthew Barzun for a thought provoking conversation. After 8 years as director of education strategy at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Phillips is now the chief education officer for National Geographic. How can we take the power of education and transform it to move Americans to the highest levels of performance in the world? Where does Kentucky fit in that equation?
