Pupils at a college have been left angry after being told their study leave had been moved up and they had 10 minutes to say goodbye to friends and leave school.
One student at Ulidia Integrated College in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, says she and her classmates feel like they were "shoved out the back door" after the school changed their plans.
The pupil, who didn't wish to be named as they still have to return to complete ALevels, said it had deprived them of the opportunity to say goodbye properly to the school, friends and staff after seven years.
