<p>Statistics about the number of individuals participating in international mobilities
through the Erasmus+ programme are available on the European Commission website: <a
href="https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/about/statistics_en" target="_blank">https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/about/statistics_en</a>.</p><p>Data
are available covering the 2014, 2015 and 2016 call years are as below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Numbers
of school staff mobilities outgoing from the UK</strong></p></td><td><p>1,067</p></td><td><p>1,147</p></td><td><p>1,393</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Number
of teachers in England</strong></p></td><td><p>4,549,000</p></td><td><p>4,569,000</p></td><td><p>4,573,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>%
of school staff participating in international mobilities</strong></p></td><td><p>0.02%</p></td><td><p>0.03%</p></td><td><p>0.03%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Figures taken from the School Workforce in England, 2014, 2015, 2016 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-workforce"

</p><p>These will include teachers but also wider school staff.</p><p> </p><p>Numbers
of school pupils participating in international mobilities through the Erasmus+ programme
are not available.</p><p> </p><p>These statistics give numbers of individuals who
have travelled on international mobilities but will not reflect the full number of
teachers and pupils who will have otherwise benefited from the Erasmus+ programme,
for example through strategic partnerships and cooperative projects. It is not possible
to quantify the total numbers of school staff and pupils who will have benefited.</p><p>
</p><p>Comparing the number of school staff mobilities to the number of teachers in
England gives a sense of the proportion that benefit from the Erasmus+ programme.</p><p>
</p><p>These figures give the number of teachers working in state-funded schools in
England only. They do not include the number of teachers working at other types of
schools in the UK eg independent schools, who are also eligible to participate in
the Erasmus+ programme.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
