    Michelle Donelan – 2021 Comments on Turing Scheme

    The comments made by Michelle Donelan, the Universities Minister, on 4 August 2021.

    Our schools, colleges and universities have worked tirelessly to make this programme a success, and I am grateful to them and their global partners who have truly embraced this opportunity for international collaboration.

    I look forward to seeing the innovation and expertise our students, pupils and vocational learners bring back to this country from their journeys to every corner of the globe – from Canada to Japan, and Australia to the United States.

  • Gavin Williamson – 2021 Comments on Turing Scheme

    Gavin Williamson – 2021 Comments on Turing Scheme

    The comments made by Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education, on 4 August 2021.

    The chance to work and learn in a country far from home is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – which broadens minds, sharpens skills and improves outcomes.

    But until now it has been an opportunity disproportionately enjoyed by those from the most privileged backgrounds. The Turing Scheme has welcomed a breadth of successful applications from schools and colleges across the country, reflecting our determination that the benefits of Global Britain are shared by all.

    By strengthening our partnerships with the finest institutions across the globe, the Turing Scheme delivers on the Government’s post-Brexit vision, and helps a new generation grasp opportunities beyond Europe’s borders.
