Your Education Matters TV Program

Vancouver

Your Education Matters is the only TV program in BC dedicated to addressing education issues beyond the headlines. Hosted by Dr. Paul Shaker, past Dean of Education at SFU, the program provides insight and opinions from practitioners and scholars on education issues that matter for parents, students, educators and policy makers alike.

From decision-making for your child's education to accountability and diversity in our schools to health education, Your Education Matters welcomes guests who explore the challenges and possible solutions for education issues, so viewers are informed and prepared to actively participate in making their family's education experience successful.

Your Education Matters will air a new episode with a new topic monthly and rebroadcasts on 3 channels. For Vancouver Island times, see your local cable listings
