Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Some say the economic arms race of the 21st century begins in the classroom — with math and science education. But American students often test below students from other countries in those subjects. We explore the challenge of preparing students for success in the 21st century economy, and learn about one local school focused on science and technology.
