answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>We have made clear that we value international exchange and collaboration in education and training as part of our vision for a global Britain. The White Paper on the Future Relationship between the UK and the EU proposed that the UK and EU should continue to give young people and students the chance to benefit from each other’s world leading universities.</p><p>Ministers and I meet with representatives of the education sector regularly to discuss the Department for Education agenda, and that has included the questions of the Erasmus+ programme and international mobility more widely.</p><p>Ultimately, participation in the future Erasmus+ programme (2021-2027) is a matter for negotiations to come about our future relationship with the EU and, as is the duty of a responsible government, we are preparing for a range of potential outcomes. This includes consideration of domestic alternative options for supporting international mobility outside Erasmus+. My officials have had observer status on work done by UK and members of the sector on what form a domestic alternative to Erasmus+ could take. We are listening to stakeholder views on this issue. Our stakeholder engagement will be ongoing.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 08/05/2019 08:12:54 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>The government’s review of post-18 education and funding is looking at how we can ensure there is choice and competition across a joined-up post-18 education and training sector. The review’s focus includes how we can encourage learning that is more flexible (for example, part-time, distance learning and commuter study options) and complements ongoing government work to support people at different times in their lives.</p><p> </p><p>The independent panel will report shortly, and the government will then conclude the overall review later this year. We will not speculate about potential recommendations, as we do not wish to pre-judge the outcome of the review.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 08/05/2019 08:16:46 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
