Viewers were left impressed, inspired and in floods of tears after last night’s Educating Greater Manchester, which featured an incredible story of friendship.
The first episode of the series introduced us to 12-year-old best friends Jack and Rani, who attend Harrop Fold School in Salford. Rani moved from war-ravaged Syria to the Greater Manchester city, joining the pupils at Harrop Fold.
Despite Rani being shy and not speaking much English, Jack made it his mission to include him and the pair quickly became firm friends.

‘When I was alone I was really sad because I didn’t have any friends, when Jack came up to me I felt something in my heart and then we were friends,’ Rani said during an appearance on This Morning yesterday.
Of course, when the pair’s story was told on Educating Greater Manchester, the nation was in awe of Jack’s compassion, and left inspired by their lovely friendship. Many viewers took to social media to say the pair give them hope for the future.
Inevitably, there were tears.
Educating Greater Manchester continues next Thursday at 9pm on Channel 4.
