Namibia becomes the 10th country to run CensusAtSchool

At the beginning of October Kate Richards and Neville Davies spent a busy four days in Windhoek, Namibia, explaining a strategy for planning, writing and running the CensusAtSchool project in Namibian schools. The visit was hosted by Medmillian Handura, founder of Oupatje, a not-for-profit organisation that will run CensusAtSchool Namibia. Kate and Neville ran a workshop for 16 school teachers, appeared on Namibian television, met the director general of education and a senior Namibian economist and visited Acedemia Secondary School.

 

Thousands of students from 800 schools reported the news for the 2011 BBC News School Report Day

On the 24 March more than 30,000 pupils from around the UK turned their classrooms into newsrooms as they made the news for real as part of the BBC NEWS School Report. Children from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland made the news, live on BBC Television, Radio and online.

The RSSCSE worked with the BBC NEWS School Report team on the annual event that aims to interest young people in news of all sorts, by giving them the chance to make their own news.

The RSSCSE team and the BBC News School Report team worked with schoolteachers and pupils to design, write and produce an online survey comprising 29 questions that were of interest to school children aged 11 - 16. Over 320 of the BBC News School Report-registered secondary schools took part in the survey. After completing it, some of them reported on the results live as part of the BBC NEWS School Report day that was transmitted  from the new BBC studios at MediaCity, Manchester, on 24 March. Neville Davies and Kate Richards took part in the transmission at the studios by helping pupils to interpret the results from the survey.
