The show marries an unrivaled host, Fred Thompson, with a team of award-winning producers, and provides viewers new information that will impact their lives.

The importance of a quality education has become quite evident in today’s global environment. As the U.S. has transformed from a manufacturing-based to a knowledge-based economy, education has become the gateway to better career options and more opportunities.

Not only have many U.S. jobs moved overseas, but also jobs available in this country require a greater level of skills than were necessary a decade ago. Providing a high-quality education to all students ensures they’ll enter the world with the skills to compete and succeed in the increasingly competitive global marketplace.

In this “Inside Business Report” series, we’ll explore learning institutions of varying levels across the nation, and discover how they’re stimulating the minds of the future. We’ll speak with industry experts and leaders who define greatness in education, and we’ll inform viewers on the latest developments in the educational arena.
