Asian History and Michael Gove's Curriculum Reform

Nihal asks whether British Asians are too obsessed with history from back home, Kapil Lakhani is our fitness guru and Professor Muhammad Yunus talks about the future of Bangladesh.

Join the debate with Nihal at 10. He's asking, 'Are British Asians too obsessed with history from back home?' The government's expected to unveil its new history curriculum for secondary schools within the next few weeks but there's concern there'll be few references to places like India and Pakistan which have long links with Britain. So does it matter if kids don't learn about things like partition? After 11, fitness expert Kapil Lakhani is our guru and he answers your questions, and after midday, Nobel Peace Laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus talks to Nihal about the future of Bangladesh, following the recent garment industry disaster.
