Educators
An award-winning unscripted comedy series about the staff of a suburban High School.
Educators is a sitcom set behind-the-scenes of an ordinary Kiwi secondary school, about the people in charge of educating the next generation.
They have no grasp of the curriculum, no knowledge of how to follow a timetable, and no idea how to complete the homework they set.
Issues like parental conflict, exam pressure, turning up late, and exhaustion, are continually stressing them out much more than their pupils do. These dysfunctional educators are childishly trying to survive the day until the bell rings…
Created by Jesse Griffin, Jackie van Beek and Jonny Brugh
