BBC Asian Network's Big Debate: Mensa and 'Big Debate’s Little Debate'

Mensa and 'Big Debate’s Little Debate'

BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Mensa and 'Big Debate’s Little Debate'

Qasa talks about our 'Making it to Mensa – Britain’s Brightest Brains' documentary.

Qasa is joined by 12-year-old Jiya, from the Asian Network’s 'Making it to Mensa – Britain’s Brightest Brains' documentary. In five years, the number of those aged 11 and under has increased by more than half and Qasa wants to know, is it all about making the parents proud, and what does being gifted child really mean? We’ll also hear from Bobby Seagull of University Challenge fame and an ambassador for charity 'Potential Plus UK' which works with gifted children. Then we’ll have this week’s 'Big Debate’s Little Debate', where listener Adarsh wants us to discuss the pros and cons of apprenticeships and graduate roles.
