The nation’s leading public figures are back to school to be cross-questioned by a group of 20 kids. Will they pass the test?

In each episode, one public figure (politicians, actors, athletes, entrepreneurs) is facing 20 kids in their classroom.

Interview, practical exercise, English test, general knowledge quiz…One after another, they will not be spared.

Are children better interviewers than journalists? Will their innocence bring the truth and the reality behind the guests’ public speeches and under-control image?

FACING THE CLASSROOM is a refreshing and spontaneous show that gives the unique opportunity to discover the nation’s public figures as they are barely seen.
