answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>We are in close contact and working with the UK National Agency to ensure that in the event that the UK leaves the EU with no agreement in place, the government’s guarantee on Erasmus will cover the payment of awards to UK applicants for all successful Erasmus+ bids submitted before the end of 2020.</p><p>The UK government has repeatedly made clear that it values international exchange and collaboration in education and training as part of its vision for a global Britain, and we believe that the UK and European countries should continue to give young people and students the chance to benefit from each other’s world leading universities post-exit. This is reliant on the UK government reaching agreement with the EU for UK organisations to continue participating in Erasmus+ projects and we are seeking to hold these discussions with the EU.</p><p>We published a new technical notice, attached, at the end of January, which provides detailed guidance to organisations and students on the UK’s anticipated participation in the current Erasmus+ programme (2014 to 2020) in the event of no deal.

uin	HL2679
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>An increase in university graduates does not need to come at the expense of other routes into highly skilled employment. Nearly 60% of the country’s working age population still do not have a Level 4+ qualification. It is also not a stark choice for young people to choose between technical or academic education, as they can and should choose the right track for them.</p><p>The Skills Plan, in responding to the Sainsbury recommendations, makes clear that technical education must always be about developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours required for a specific occupation. This Government is focused on strengthening the education system to enable everybody to achieve their potential and to ensure that once and for all, we address the gap in skills at technical and higher technical levels that affects the nation’s productivity.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 08/11/2016 15:51:36 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
