This is especially important in today’s world, where the views and practices of different religions can be divisive and controversial.

Its presenters
When it comes to teaching children, the BBC is a trusted provider of quality education content. It has forged partnerships with reputable education providers including the Department of Education in England, the Welsh Government and the Scottish Government. These partnerships have aided the development of BBC programmes and helped children reach their full potential. The BBC’s family and education presenters have the knowledge and experience to make these programmes both entertaining and informative.

Its funding
The BBC’s cost-cutting drive has continued to this day with the organisation expecting savings of more than PS800 million annually. Last year, it announced the axing of 1,200 jobs. The BBC has been under new leadership since late 2020, with Deborah Turness named as the next director-general of news. The corporation has faced criticisms for its lack of diversity in its news coverage, and announced plans to spend PS700 million outside London by 2027, relocating 400 jobs.
