New Children's University will engage children

The initiative, which has operated in the British Isles since 2007, will be rolled out in 24 schools to children aged between five and 14.  

Children will be able to purchase a learning passport which is stamped for every hour of extra-curricular activity they take part in outside of the normal school day.  Their achievements will then be celebrated at a special graduation ceremony. 

Carys Lloyd who is leading the initiative told 3FM the Children’s University was designed to engage children:
