Bill Clinton on Education: Livestream of his GESF Address

As we reported earlier this week, Big Think will be bringing you exclusive coverage of the Global Education and Skills Forum (GESF). Every year, the “Davos of Education” brings together leaders from across different industries and the public sector to discuss how they can work together to solve our global education crisis.

President Bill Clinton, Founder of the Clinton Foundation & 42nd President of the United States, will be addressing the Forum this Sunday March 16^th at 12:30pm EST. Big Think will livestream his address.

If you have questions for President Clinton or the featured speakers we will be interviewing, post them on Twitter using the hashtag #AskGESF.
