Watch the film of the last time the World's biggest lesson was set in 2003.
At 9am* on 23rd April 2008 thousands of schools in over 120 countries taught the same lesson at the same time. The aim is to make it the world's biggest lesson, EVER.
The lesson was about why school is so important and we hope that decision makers learnt as much from it as you!
We're now just waiting to hear whether we've been successful in breaking the record - so watch this space!

* You also have an option to do the lesson at 4pm if you want. Because the lesson took place all around the world it had to happen at three different times so that everyone could find a time that suited them, depending on the time zone they live in.
