BBC News School Report 2007-2008

Summary: BBC News ran a project in the 2006 to 2007 school year that provided young people in secondary schools (12 to 13 years of age) with support and opportunities to produce their own broadcast news items, in either radio, broadcast or text based forms, with publication on the internet. In the 2007 to 2008 school year, the number of schools involved in the project grew considerably, and BBC News wanted to identify forms of learning that were arising for young people involved, as well as the ways that schools and centres such as city learning centres (CLCs) were providing support for teachers and students.
