Spot misinformation online with these tips -----> During this Coronavirus lockdown the BBC is putting primary and secondary school curriculums on television daily. This is in addition to the online provision it already makes. The move will help low income families who are currently struggling to pay home-schooling data fees to their internet providers.
Primary curriculum will be aired three hours daily on CBBC and at least two hours of secondary curriculum on BBC 2.

I personally feel that I have laid a successful siege on this matter for many years now and I can say I am satisfied with the result. Whilst congratulations are in order for The British Museum and its partners and others involved in this very productive outcome I hasten to add that they should be allowed to get on with it and (unhelpful) opportunists should not seize on this project to get in the way of the progress made so far. Just leave them alone to get on with the job. The Benin people do not need any spanners in the works at this present time. Go and find other causes to champion. And thank you for doing so.
