Well there's Sesame Street and uh, Dora the Explorer to name a bare few, though those are directed toward nursery, pre-school~elementary school age children. This appears to be aimed toward the older kids...
Well, we have some flash animations online meant for high school courses, but they're hilariously mediocre in budget compared to this, state-funded or otherwise.

...Ride on the MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!
Also, Schoolhouse Rock. And Animaniacs.
Pity they don't make cartoons like they used to. Now it's all Spongebob Squarepants (or some other weird Nicktoon stuff) or painful insult-your-intelligence drivel like Dora.
I learnt learned English, Math, Science, History, Civics, Philosophy, etc. from halfway across the globe thanks to the wonders of American cartoons.
None of this "we need to cater to people speaking Spanish/Ebonics/some mother language" bullshit.
Oh boy, my english is pretty good because of this show, in the early 90's this is the only show that aren't dubbed so the fact they teach counting in english and so on was a good start for my childhood(i was 6 that time)..
then came the millenium, my country starts thinking, "hey let's dub this show" and then... well its the same for other show like dora, teletubies.. it seems when they dub it, it drastically changes the meaning of the entire show..

I can imagine an educational show with moe, good-looking girls, that are NOT dumbed down, to become a big hit in the west as well. We actually desperately need something like it to popularize science among the youth.

I would love that. I want desperately a moefied Planck teaching physics, or better, a moefied Darwin girl who travels to all the continents to teach kids about the common ancestor theories and also evolutionary biology.

That would piss off all the Christian 'scientists'.
(Not actual scientists who are Christian, mind you.)
