Education in America takes center stage as NBC News kicks off the third annual Education Nation summit this week. The event is a chance for some of the leading minds in the country to work together toward meaningful education reform.

The cornerstone of Education Nation 2012 will be this week's national summit in New York City, where once again, NBC News will convene policymakers, elected officials, teachers, parents, thought leaders, educators, members of the business community, and engaged citizens in a national discussion about education.

Built around solutions, the 2012 Education Nation summit will showcase real-life examples of communities and classrooms that are closing the skills gap and educating students so they can compete for the jobs of the future. Click hereto view the schedule of panels and discussions.

In addition to the summit, the network is also continuing Education Nation in cities across the country later this year. Making stops in Denver (April 15-16), Atlanta (May 6-7) and Miami (May 20-21), the NBC News team will host a series of panels and events involving NBC News anchors and correspondents, local leaders, officials, educators, parents, and students. NBC News is set to partner with affiliate stations to create a forum in each city for sharing information, exchanging ideas and inspiring change.

Don't forget to tune in this week for some thought-provoking coverage on education. Many panels are interactive and teachers from across the country can sound off with questions and comments.

Visit the Education Nation website and follow them on Twitter for timely program updates.
