Schools minister Nick Gibb on exam stress, Juries in rape cases, Maya Angelou, Wu Man
Schools minister Nick Gibb on teen exam stress, new research on juries in rape cases, dramatising Maya Angelou and Wu Man plays the Chinese musical instrument, the pipa.
Teenagers are saying they're feeling under huge pressure as they face tougher public examinations this summer. Woman's Hour has heard the concerns of some parents, teachers and psychologists. We talk to the schools minister, Nick Gibb, about what's happening. A psychologist and a barrister recreated a series of rape trials, to discover how jurors were making decisions, discuss their research and what its implications might be. We hear about the enduring appeal of the late Maya Angelou, whose 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' is this week's Woman's Hour drama. And Wu Man plays the pipa, a 2,000 year old Chinese instrument.
