Local MP Alan Mak has visited Havant Academy in Leigh Park to talk to pupils during UK Parliament Week.
He then took part in a question and answer session with the Year 10 and Year 11 Citizenship students on the subject of democracy.
UK Parliament Week is an annual event that seeks to inform and educate people about the work and role of the UK Parliament. This year it ran from November 24-30.
Schools and organisations signed up to receive a UKPW kit, which included an activity booklet, a fun board game, a Palace of Westminster pop-up ballot box, banner and stickers.
Mr Mak said: "I enjoyed meeting the students at Havant Academy and listening to their views on local and national issues. UK Parliament Week is an excellent initiative and I believe it's important for people to be engaged in the political process and to learn more about what Parliament is and what it does.
"That's why I also organise regular tours of Parliament, where residents from the Havant Constituency can find out all about the Palace of Westminster's long history before joining me for a Q&A session."
Coaches leave Havant around 8am and return around 5.30pm. If you'd like to join one of the tours in 2026, please register your interest by going to www.alanmak.org.uk/Tours.
