Nomia asks, is there anything in Ofsted's claim that some people are using religion to "pervert" children's education?

Do you agree with Ofsted that some people are using religion to "pervert" children's education? Head of Ofsted Amanda Spielman warns that schools in England are being used by those who want to "actively pervert" education under the guise of religious belief. Then we hear from student Orhan Ahmed who claims he wasn't allowed to apply for a job because of his facial hair. After that we look at the challenges raised by shared parenting in the Asian community. A mother and father join Nomia to talk about the issues. Also - is virginity a big deal in British Asian communities? A movement to stop newly-wed brides from an Indian tribal community having to take a virginity test has begun in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. And we hear from Alice Smith about a campaign she's launched which calls for better education about periods in schools.
