Students protest over axed EMA support allowance

Students have held protests at about 30 schools and colleges in England against the scrapping of the EMA study support grant, campaigners say.

The protests come a day before MPs are due to vote on a Labour motion calling on the government to rethink its plan.

The government says the allowances of up to £30 a week for low-income students aged 16-19 are wasteful.

The BBC's education correspondent, Reeta Chakrabarti has the details.
