The United Kingdom and the European Union have finalized an agreement allowing Britain to take part in the bloc’s Erasmus+ student exchange scheme.
More than 100,000 people are expected to benefit when they become eligible on January 1, 2027, the British government said in a statement on Wednesday.
The agreement is currently only for one year, and Britain will contribute 570 million pounds (€655 million, $774 million) towards the scheme’s costs in 2027.
As a Brit I can confirm that it was a 100% stupid idea. Looking forward to my son being able to take advantage of agreements like this one day and not end up stuck in an isolationist hellscape.
Not going to the EU, then?
That is a rather sweeping proposition. Do you want to elaborate?
