Wednesday 24 November 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC 2 Presented by Jeremy Paxman The Education Secretary Michael Gove has unveiled his schools White Paper which signals a return to traditional educational values as it sets out wide ranging plans for school reforms in England. Tonight Michael Crick will be assessing if this government plan can help more deprived school pupils achieve good results and get into university. Meanwhile, thousands of students have been staging sit-ins, occupations and walkouts at universities, colleges and schools across the country against proposed increases in tuitions fees. Liz Mackean has been watching some of the protests and we'll be joined in the studio by students who've taken part in today's day of action. A paedophile gang has been convicted today of raping and abusing vulnerable teenage girls in Derby. Detectives there say the case has been the most horrendous case of sexual exploitation they have ever faced. Tonight Jackie Long talks to the victims of these crimes - girls as young as 12, groomed by paedophiles and pimped out - and investigates what is being done to tackle the phenomenon. And we'll be asking what should be done with Britain's disused churches. With congregations shrinking sharply and money drying up, should these religious buildings remain sacred places? Or should we chop up our churches and convert them into flats, pubs, gyms and shops? This and more at 10.30pm on BBC Two, with Jeremy Paxman. |
