Refugee pupils with no school places have lessons in Manchester car parks

Volunteers run makeshift classrooms for hundreds' of children at hotels facing long waits to get into schools

The children of refugees and asylum seekers are receiving lessons in hotel car parks in Manchester because no places have been found at local schools, charity workers say.

Children thought to number in the hundreds, who have fled with their families from countries including Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq and Syria, are being put up in hotels across the city by the Home Office while they await news about their asylum applications.
