"From learning a language to building confidence and work experience, Erasmus+ offers transformative opportunities to enhance young people's life chances, said UK skills minister Jacqui Smith."
"Strengthening those ties further makes perfect sense on both sides -- for our students, teachers, educational systems, economies and societies as a whole, stated European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen."
The UK and EU agreed on terms for the UK to rejoin the Erasmus+ program, expected to benefit over 100,000 individuals in its first year. The UK will contribute £570 million towards the scheme's costs in 2027, reflecting a 30% discount on the default contribution rate. Eligible participants include students, apprentices, and young people for placements and cultural exchanges. The British Council will return as the UK's national agency for the program, facilitating navigation for participants. European Commission President emphasized the importance of strengthening educational ties between Europe and the UK.
