A weekly report on the world of education with Martin Young
Britain's classrooms are currently the focus of a bitter political and educational debate. Politicians, teachers' unions, educational experts and parents are all having their say. The missing voice is that of the real consumers, the pupils themselves. Thirty secondary school pupils from all over the country say what they think of their education and how they would like to see it changed.

Many of us live off credit, yet credit too often and too easily turns into debt. Last year over two million people in debt came before the hard-pressed county courts. In some areas cases have to be disposed of at the rate of one a minute. To pay off existing debts people are turning in despair to loan sharks, who can push them further and further into trouble - and often in the end into prison.
