You will member on Thursday the BBC held the annual School Report. -- | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
remember. Here are some of the best bits. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
One day every year BBC News gets bigger and younger. Ten years ago | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
the BBC began an experiment with four schools and 30 students. It was | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
called school report. -- School Report. Good afternoon and welcome | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
to the BBC's School Report. Students aged 11 to 16 would get a chance to | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
make the news their way. Could you give us a taster of your favourite | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
rap? Everybody take a look at me, I've got street credibility. Schools | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
across the UK would be turned into newsrooms. School reporters | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
published stories on the website and across the BBC. What is your dream? | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
I want to see every child going to school. Ten years on, it has | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
involved more than 400,000 reporters for more than 2500 schools. We are | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
all former school reporters and we will take a look at what's been | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
going on this year. We are from a public school in Delhi. We brought | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
this monitor at with us and it shows the unhealthy levels of pollution. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
We will look back at some of the highlights of the past ten years. My | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
mum thinks you are like a modern-day Mr Darcy. We will find out what it | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
means for some of those that have taken part. It felt so surreal to be | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
working with BBC. This is the story of school report in year ten. For | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
some of the 30,000 young people taking part this year, Newsday | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
started like this. -- news day. I just got up and I am so tired! It is | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
ten to 18 Warnie and I am waiting for a couple of school reporters who | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
are meeting someone very special for breakfast. -- to eight in the | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
morning. Good morning. It is an early start, but what are you doing | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
here today? We are interviewing Chris Evans for the BBC School | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Report. Fantastic. It might be a silly question, but are you | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
excited? Of course! We've been preparing questions for a good two | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
weeks and we are ready to ask them and see if we can get some | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
interesting answers. Today we have two top students joining the team | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
behind the glass. Having said that, they are now in the studio. Good | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
morning! How are you doing? We are fabulous. When we were speaking on | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
the radio they told us there were over 10 million viewers, so that was | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
a bit shocking. Around 150 school reporters were ringed by the two the | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
BBC in London. It wasn't long before school reporters were getting down | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
to work. In here is the editorial meeting for Radio 4's world at one. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
It is usually behind closed doors today we can go in. The CMA boss | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
went on to... These students to write an editorial meeting about | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
what stories should be in the programme at lunchtime. I found the | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
meeting very interesting. It was a very nice experience and I like to | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
do it again. School Report began ten years ago when the BBC invited four | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
schools to take part in a broadcasting experiment. The BBC | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
back in 2006, but it is still the case, was really concerned about | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
young people not engaging with news and not getting the chance to find | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
out about the world around them, current affairs. The thought was | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
that if you could somehow engage them in schools it might interest | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
them in news and current affairs and that might lead to an interest late | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
in life. The essence of School Report is giving young people a | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
voice and an audience. Dr Who makes a comeback... Students recognise the | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
value of having a real audience and this is a huge motivating factor, so | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
students take extra care because they know their bulletins, blogs and | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
articles will be viewed and read by many people. Another good thing | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
about it is developing student self-worth, confidence. For many | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
school reporters over the years, having a voice has meant covering | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
stories close to home. When the river burst its banks, over a | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
quarter of the Somerset land was flooded. Despite 50,000 sandbags... | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
And 62 pumps operating 24 hours a day, the force of nature was too | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
strong to hold back. This is one of the most deprived areas of the UK. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
It is pretty rundown in places. Boarded-up shops and NT -- empty | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
houses. There is nothing out of the ordinary for pupils getting the bus | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
to school. These students happen to live on the other side and the | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
school journey involves more than just a bus. Sometimes local stories | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
produced by school reporters can capture national attention, as | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Raymond, who lives in Hackney in east London, found out when he was | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
13 and the part in School Report. Some people do think of Hackney as a | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
rough area, a bad area where there's a lot of crime, so I thought it | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
would be interesting to talk about. As a young person in Hackney, how do | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
you feel about safety? People don't feel safe and comfortable. I wanted | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
to shed some light on the fact that crime wasn't that bad. Me living in | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Hackney, as a 13-year-old as a time -- at the time, it wasn't as bad as | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
people thought. I am here with a former gang member who is now a | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
youth worker and is trying to make this a safer place. Showing young | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
people that there's more to life than what they see around them, in | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
terms of all of the negative influences. The local story went | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
national when Raymond appeared on the today programme on Radio 4. We | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
are joined by one young man who has been taking part, Raymond. Can you | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
explain the problem how difficult the problem is? Crime in Hackney | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
isn't really bad. If you get involved in it it is hard to get | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
out, but if you might do business, choose the right friends, it is all | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
right. The whole experience was amazing, having that experience at | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
that age. -- mind your own business. Because of that I've considered | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
going into media in the future. On news day this year more than 1000 | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
schools across the UK took part. The BBC in Salford have had around 75 | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
school reporters. BBC radio Manchester... This is probably one | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
of the most important buttons. Back in London, these students are | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
speaking to schools all over the country. With help from some friends | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
from Radio one. I am hearing the news gathering area at broadcasting | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
house in London. It is incredibly busy. We have students calling from | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
all over the country and students are also visited by a very special | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
guest, Greg James. Hello, Greg. How are you finding things today? Me and | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Adam are very busy. We are calling some schools to find out how they | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
are getting on. We're calling on particular school. How is it going? | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
We're through. Just finding out how they are getting on, our students | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
are getting involved. We have another student. What have you been | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
doing with the phones? I've just been finding out some information. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Have you found any interesting stories about schools? On school got | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
a visit from the BBC Radio. They called into congratulate them for | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
what they were doing, which was a nice surprise. Five floors up in | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
school reporters are driving their desks at radio one Xtra. How did you | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
find that? Controlling the buttons at the beginning? That was easy! On | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
a scale of one to ten, how easy? Nine. So are you saying everyday I | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
do an easy job? Sort of. Students also report about their own lives. | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
Hello. We are teenagers in 2013, but we think it would be easier to be a | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
teenager in the 1980s rather than now. No one told me about a costume | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
change! Today we are asking the question, how could he first century | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
teenagers are affected by body image issues. We are more likely to forget | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
our school books they am as Khare. But is our fixation with image | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
harming our self-esteem? What psychological effect does | :09:27. | :09:43. | |
selfies have on young people? Positive and negative. Most young | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
people like taking selfies. But as long as they aren't taken too | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
seriously. We've been reporting for BBC School Report. The question many | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
school reporters ask is can young people live above social media? Is | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
not much research on the effect social media is having on young | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
people, what we want to see what all this screen time is doing to our | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
brains. So, we decided to go cold turkey for one week. When the BBC | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
approached us, I was very excited. This is the first day. I'm quite | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
unsure about what I should replace the time I use social media with. I | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
think my stress is going to grow and get bigger. Only three out of nine | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
of us lasted the whole week. I think I felt disappointed in myself, | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
because a lot of my friends did go the week. I couldn't do it. But | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
don't think young Gursel is a test with social media, as School Report | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
revealed. In Kenya were visited. We go back to the good old days of | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
letter writing. I am writing to a friend of mine. Just as a hello, | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
because it has been a long time. The story was broadcast on BBC world and | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
their World Service. That introduction to the School Report | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
back in 2010 wasn't exactly global news. I did a story about my dad | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
winning a competition to go on England football bus. Looking back | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
on it, I think, why on earth did I pick that? But it didn't hold her | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
back. Far from it. Lauren is 19. Now she works as a broadcast assistant | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
at the BBC in London. I am back at William Howard school, the one they | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
left three years ago, the meat and students were taking part in BBC | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
News school report. How do you experience your -- how do you value | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
your experience the School Report? That's the reason why I wanted to | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
join the BBC. It gave me insight into what it was like to work for | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
such a big News Corporation and it was School Report that help me | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
decide that I wanted to become a journalist. BBC journalist Jane Hill | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
has been involved with School Report from the start. One of the young | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
people I spoke to say, I am enjoying the writing, but I am also really | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
enjoying having a go at all of the equipment and machinery. She said, I | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
would never have a chance to even look at this machinery and try to | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
learn understand how it works. I thought, that's fantastic! Just | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
because I am a journalist I can't assume everyone wants to write or | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
broadcast for a career. Baby P want to go into the technical side and be | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
a sound recordist, or a cameraman. -- maybe they want. Over the year, | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
school reporters have done a great job. At the height of the Arab | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Spring students interviewed students in Tunisia. Hello. Can you describe | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
what it was like being at home when the revolution was happening? It was | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
really scary. Guns fired, pupils are very afraid. They just want | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
democracy, but it was very horrid. Equality. | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
There are school reporters all over the world reporting stories to a | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
global audience. Hello, we are students at a school injuries. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
Unique of Jewish -Arab coexistence. We want to show you how it works. | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
Follow us. In this class, one teacher speaks in Hebrew and the | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
other in Arabic. It helps to remove barriers and create friendship from | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
an early age. Coexistence is a daily challenge, but the alternative is | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
worse. The story of one extraordinary teenager who has a -- | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
inspired many around the world gave one reported the opportunity to | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
travel to the UN. The story begins at a school in Birmingham. Holly was | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
in year nine when she became interested in a Pakistani girl who | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
was shot either Taliban after campaigning for girls to be | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
educated. I started looking at who she was and what she had done. I | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
came across the blog she did and it is great to see that from an early | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
age she was an advocate of female education and the right to equality. | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
And so after that we started getting more interested, started writing | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
reports on staff and then BBC School Report got back to us and said we | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
could get involved. She got the chance to go to New York to report | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
on a speech Malala was making at the UN. Every girl, who raised their | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
voice for their rights. Wholly interviewed Gordon Brown, the | :14:52. | :15:03. | |
UN special envoy to education. What is education Mata? Because it is the | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
only way people can do to themselves. Straight after the | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
interview, we met Malala right after her speech, we were in awe at the | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
opportunity. Holly even reported live from New York. That was quite | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
some speech today, were you in the audience? Yes, we were. We thought | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
it was really good, and there were a few of us watching. She said quite a | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
few inspirational quotes, like the peaceful and love everyone. I felt | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
quite privileged that I was one of the people to be able to see her and | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
hear her voice and speak. This year, students are covering another World | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
News story, the war in Syria. And they are doing it in their own way. | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
We have been linking up with children in Syria who have had to | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
leave their homes because of the conflict. We have suffered from any | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
problems during the last few years. We have become friends with students | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
in Damascus as part of the project. We find that their lives are very | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
different from ours. They told us that when they come home from school | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
they say goodbye to their mothers as if they will never see them again. | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
They keep having to move homes and schools and don't have proper books | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
like us. I have changed three houses in different places, so I have | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
changed three schools. Armed with insights into the lives of young | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
people in Syria they took their questions to the international | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
developer and secretary. Young people in Syria don't have enough | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
desks and chairs or access to technology. What is the UK doing to | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
help them? One thing the UK has really been focused on is trying to | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
get children back into school. School report sometimes throws up | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
moments you would never see anywhere else. They can be revealing. Why | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
anti- wearing a tie? 51% of the pictures on the internet of you | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
don't have a tie on. They can be spontaneous. How am I doing? , I am | :17:13. | :17:32. | |
feeling great! They can be unexpected. We will be reporting on | :17:33. | :17:43. | |
love your toilet week in school. We will get it right, I don't know | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
where this microphone is going. Or they can be downright weird. I was | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
wondering, could you give us a taster of your favourite rap? It was | :17:53. | :18:06. | |
a strange question. After the video went viral, I thought I was famous, | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
everyone will know about it. Public Enemy, Tinie Tempah, they are all | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
great. My dad is probably still more thrilled that I am, he keeps talking | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
about it two years on. In 2012, events in the UK caught the | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
attention of the rest of the world. School reporters were there again to | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
cover the story. The Olympic flame arrives in the UK this evening on | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
board a special flight from Athens. This is the actual tarmac where the | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
Olympic flame will land. It will be travelling for 70 days around the | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
entire UK. It felt so surreal to be working with the BBC. My gosh. | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
Fantastic access, you have spoken to everyone who is important! Did you | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
enjoy that? Yes, it was great to see everything behind the scenes and see | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
the preparations we were talking about. I never had much confidence, | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
so to look at myself talking at the camera, that footage was then going | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
to be on the news, I was really quite proud at the same time of | :19:10. | :19:19. | |
being weeded out. A lot of reporters cover the Olympics, some even | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
interviewed athlete. Since you joined the academy, you haven't | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
really live the life of a normal teenager. I think you miss out, you | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
make some sacrifices. You miss out on going out on the weekends and | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
things, but I am completely happy with missing those little things to | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
be in a position I'm in now. For one school reporter, the Paralympics... | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
This is my best friend Charlie. He has cerebral palsy, and first got | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
involved in the project when he and his able-bodied friend told their | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
story of playing wheelchair tennis together. I think it has been really | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
good, was not only can Abbey play with me, she can come to my world | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
and see what tennis does for me and how much I enjoy it. When the | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
Paralympic Games began, Charlie was chosen to be the official school | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
report blogger. It was absolutely amazing, because I haven't ever done | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
anything like that before, and because I was quite young I felt | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
like I had quite a big sense of responsibility. That wasn't all. We | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
do want to hear from Charlie... He then shared his experiences on five | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
live. Hi Charlie, good to see. You have cerebral palsy and use a | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
wheelchair, so how have you found this event? It has been great, to be | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
honest. It has done a lot for disabled people and disabled sport, | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
and I hope a lot stems off from these games. I am really proud. I | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
think subconsciously, it has made me want to get involved in journalism | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
as I have got older. It has a really positive effect on me. One of the | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
most important jobs of a reporter is holding the powerful to account. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
School reporters have a long history of asking tough questions. In 2007, | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
School reporters had a chance to ask questions to Tony Blair. Thousands | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
of children my age have died in the war in Iraq. This is too high a | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
price to pay for getting rid of Saddam Hussein? Just before I came | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
here I was speaking to the PM in Iraq. What he would say is that the | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
people who are doing the killing are small minority and they have to be | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
stopped. In 2012, the DJ had the kind of day political reporters can | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
only hope for. You'll make it was really the fracking date. Good | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
afternoon. She got to talk to all three main party leaders. One after | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
another. My school is a terrible place, with cracks in the walls | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
covered with paper and last week we flooded. What are you going to do | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
for Rascal and many others? We are going to spend money on new capital | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
and new buildings for schools. It sounds like yours is a deserving | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
case and perhaps I will have to look at your particular school and see | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
what the plans are. A year later, she followed up the pledge. I | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
received a letter from the PM to verify that our school has been | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
placed on the priority school building programme. Despite this, | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
one year on, our school hasn't changed. I felt proud that I have | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
managed to get to where I was, that I managed to represent the school in | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
a way and to get a voice for the students in the school. Now, the | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
school is being rebuilt. In 2013, School reporters met a leading | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
politician and dared to ask a question on everybody's lips. Do you | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
want to be PM? I am very lucky to be Mayor of London. And then another | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
school reporter asked him. What do you want to be? What you want to be? | :23:16. | :23:24. | |
What is this? I felt a bit awkward, because I asked him twice that he | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
didn't answer. Until he finally got an answer. Genuinely, of course I | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
do. To get that out of him was a really big accomplishment for me. | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
You should be on Newsnight. He should be on Newsnight! This year at | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
the BBC students are putting the finishing touches to their news | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
bulletin. Before they know it, it is two o'clock. This is BBC News School | :23:53. | :24:00. | |

Edinburgh, we will be what it was like to work it a real royal. School | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
reporters all over the UK are publishing their stories. Fer we | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
have had approaches from Brussels city working with us in the last two | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
years, part of a project funded by the football league called female | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
football development. Some people have families who work in Canada. My | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
father is an electrician who gets most of his work from the plant. It | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
is not a very nice place to work at the moment because everyone is a bit | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
worried for their job. Waking up in the morning is not easy for most | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
teenagers. We usually stay up late, so are we really getting enough | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
