Each year, New York City schools educate nearly a million children in 1,800 schools, making it the largest school district not only in the United States, but in the entire world. With so many students in such a dense and diverse area, New York becomes a proving ground for all sorts of new solutions in education. What can we learn from what is working in this school system? How can the system be improved to offer the best possible education for students in New York and elsewhere? And… What is the future of education?

On this special, in-person 100th episode of What I Want to Know, Kevin is joined by New York City Department of Education Chancellor David C. Banks to discuss New York City schools and the future of education.
