About Us
While our country has elected a new leader, our nation’s education system is in crisis. What should President-elect Obama do to fix it? We posed that question to educators, students, parents and policy makers and created our “Education Advice to President-elect Obama” podcast and web project.
This project is produced by Learning Matters, a Peabody Award-winning production company covering education issues. 
For more than ten years, we’ve been producing outstanding reportage about American education.
Veteran education correspondent John Merrow founded Learning Matters Inc. in 1995 after an extensive career as a teacher and broadcaster. You can see our programs and segments on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Frontline and in our own documentaries. We also produce regular podcasts available on iTunes. Visit our website >>>
