<p>As stated in the Political Declaration, the UK is open to participation in certain
EU programmes, such as the next Erasmus+ programme (2021-27), if it is in our interest
to do so.</p><p>The proposed regulations for the next 2021-27 Erasmus+ programme are
still being discussed in the EU and have yet to be finalised. Future participation
in EU programmes will be a subject of our negotiations on the future UK-EU relationship.
Any economic and social effects on Erasmus+ membership for UK students given the UK’s
exit from the EU will be considered as part of wider discussions about the UK’s relationship
with the EU.</p><p>The Government supports initiatives for our young people to gain
international experience, both through study and work placements abroad, to increase
their language skills and cultural awareness, and improve their life chances and employability.
We want to ensure that UK and European students can continue to benefit from each
other’s world-leading education systems. We are considering a wide range of options
with regards to the future of international exchange and collaboration in education
and training, including potential domestic alternatives.</p>
