If I were Prime Minister...

Students have been challenged to come up with tweets that say in a nutshell what they would do if they were Prime Minister,

The activity comes in advance of this year's general election and was designed to increase political awareness among students.

Said Robert Sigley, Lecturer in Foundation Studies: "The tweets were well written, detailed and highlighted real problems face by our learners both nationally and locally. It has been a successful learning activity promoting thought provoking discussions and identifying further learning opportunities."

Here are some of the Prime Ministerial tweets:
