Marcus Rashford to be studied by GCSE media studies students
The Independent says GCSE media studies students will learn about footballer Marcus Rashford’s use of social media after his influential campaigning on child poverty and racism in sport.
The Manchester United and England star has been added to the course by exam board AQA. It is hoped his inclusion will enable pupils to study his use of social media as a way of influencing, but it will also enable them to learn about the social and race issues he raises.
Other additions to the course include Black Widow from the Marvel Universe, the Kiss Radio Breakfast Show, Heat magazine and the TV series His Dark Materials based on the novels by Sir Philip Pullman.
