Channel 4′s ‘Educating’ series has a habit of melting hearts with the stories of school children up and down the country, and it was no different as a new series began in Greater Manchester. Viewers of Thursday’s (31 August) episode fell in love with Syrian pupil Rani Asaad, who was struggling to fit in during his first few days at Harrop Fold School in Salford.
