In this series, we're taking a big step back in order to look at education as a force in the big picture of humanity. We're investigating the stories of the civilizations that have spent time in the last 1,000 years as the most educated civilization on the planet--China, Italy, Netherlands, Great Britain, and the USA. They were the ones who pushed the education needle forward. 1,000 years ago, the most literate civilization on planet Earth was China. But the Chinese educated class then deliberately stagnated its education system for a very long time. Understanding China's ups and downs... and ups can help to shed some light on the powerful forces of educational expansion and educational stagnation in completely different times and places. This first episode can shed light on what's at stake when we consider how aggressive to be about our own educational progress.
