The UK's unemployment rate has fallen unexpectedly, partly due to fewer students looking for work while in education.
 
Unemployment fell from 5.2% to 4.9% in the three months to February, the Office for National Statistics said.
 
The drop has been linked to a rise in students not actively seeking work, as economically inactive people are not included in the jobless figures.
