Students more likely to vote tactically on Brexit

More than half of students are ready to vote tactically in the general election, with Brexit the key factor, according to research.

The analysis from the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) says 53% will vote in a way to maximise the chances of their side of the Brexit divide.

The poll of more than 1,000 undergraduates shows 74% oppose Brexit.

Hepi director Nick Hillman says for many students it would be "full-on tactical voting because of Brexit".

The 12 December election date means many students will be back in their family home for Christmas - but they will still have the option to vote in their university constituency, or from their home address.

Back to school: Why does the academic year start in September?

Most children in England will be heading back to school this week or even having their first day in class. But why does the school year start in September?

Let's take a quick history lesson.

School wasn't compulsory until 1880 and at that time children worked in fields and factories like their parents.

Paula Kitching, a fellow of the Historical Association, said the school year was set around the busiest times for farming and industry in England.
