<p>We have made clear in the recent political agreement (published on 14 November)
that the UK remains committed to continued cooperation with the EU on education. In
the attached government white paper, ‘The future relationship between the United Kingdom
and the European Union[1]’, we also set out our desire to facilitate mobility for
students and young people, enabling them to continue to benefit from world leading
universities and the cultural experiences the UK and EU Member States – including
France – have to offer.</p><p>With the caveat that “nothing is agreed until everything
is agreed”, in principle the UK will continue to benefit from all EU programmes, including
Erasmus+, until the end of the current budget plan, and applications should continue
as normal. The UK is also open to exploring participation in the successor scheme
to the current Erasmus+ Programme. We welcome the attached proposals for the 2021-2027
successor scheme to Erasmus+ (published on 30 May), and are considering these carefully;
we will continue to participate in discussions on these proposals while we remain
in the EU. Ultimately, UK participation in the successor programme is a matter for
negotiations on our future relationship with the EU.</p><p>[1] The white paper can
