For the closing of International Education Week, join us for a screening of the documentary 2 Million Minutes. Created by Broken Pencil Productions, a leader in the field for education documentaries, this hour long film follows six students across the world on their journey through high school. The experiences of these students highlight several of the key differences between the secondary education systems of the U.S., China, and India. Following the film, will be a discussion of the documentary and a dialogue of the differences between the national education systems of these nations.
