More Or Less asks if creative people are more likely to suffer from mental illness

More Or Less asks if creativity is linked to mental illness, BBC Trending reports on black students  protesting against racism in the US and the Why Factor looks at tutoring.

In More Or Less, are creative people more likely to suffer mental illness, and has Cuba wiped out child hunger? Wesley Stephenson investigates.

BBC Trending reports on the protests by black students against racism in Missouri which have attracted global attention. The head of the university has resigned. But there are now signs that the online campaign has spread to other campuses across the United States as students share their experiences of being ‘Black on Campus.’

In the Why Factor, Mike Williams asks why private tutoring has become so commonplace worldwide. In London it is estimated that 50% of schoolchildren have a tutor at some point. In Hong Kong, that figure is much higher. What impact does tutoring have on education systems around the world?  And does it entrench inequality?
