The News Forum to Exclusively Air Education Reform: Lessons from England Documentary

September 4, 2026 - 00:46

ST. CATHARINES, Ontario - A new documentary looking at how England changed its education system is set to air across Canada this weekend. The program, titled Education Reform: Lessons from England, will premiere Saturday, September 5, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and Mountain time, with a 7:00 p.m. showing in the Pacific time zone. It will be shown only on The News Forum, a Canadian network that says it focuses on balanced reporting and public discussion.

The 25-minute film was made by SecondStreet.org, a group that studies public policy. It looks at steps taken in England to improve schools, including changes to how teachers are trained, how schools are run, and how student progress is measured. The documentary talks with people who were part of those changes, as well as critics who question whether the reforms went far enough or had downsides.

The News Forum says the goal is to give Canadian viewers a clear look at what happened in England and what lessons might apply here. The network has been airing more programs that dig into policy questions without pushing a single point of view. This premiere fits that pattern, offering a chance to see how another country handled a tough issue that also gets a lot of attention in Canada.

The broadcast is set for the Saturday evening slot, a time when the network often runs longer features and special reports. Viewers can watch the documentary on The News Forum across the country.
