Education. It's one of the most important parts of a young persons life.

From naming all the rivers in Ireland to learning about ancient hieroglyphics, it can be tricky business.

And according to a new study conducted by Oxford Home Schooling, a quarter of parents feel pressured when their little one asks for help with their homework.

As well as this, a third of those surveyed said they feel embarrassed when they can't figure out their children's homework.

In an attempt to save their egos, 75% of parents turn to technology to find the answer while 1 in 10 ask Siri or Alexa for assistance.

But it's good news for dads, as it turns out they are more confident when it comes to homework help.

40% of fathers felt confident they could tackle after school lessons compared to just 28% of  mothers.
