    Gavin Williamson – 2020 Comments on Erasmus

    The comments made by Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education, about the ending of Erasmus and the introduction of a new scheme on 26 December 2020.

    We now have the chance to expand opportunities to study abroad and see more students from all backgrounds benefit from the experience.

    We have designed a truly international scheme which is focused on our priorities, delivers real value for money and forms an important part of our promise to level up the United Kingdom.

    These opportunities will benefit both our students and our employers, as well as strengthening our ties with partners across the world.

    As the Prime Minister has announced, we will be setting up a UK-wide replacement for Erasmus+. It’s outlook will be global, not limited to the EU, and the programme will incorporate opportunities which reflect the government’s promise to level up the country.

    The comments made by Douglas Chapman, the SNP MP for Dunfermline and West Fife, on 24 December 2020.

    A year ago the PM promised in the House of Commons that the Erasmus scheme was safe in his hands. I was apparently “talking out of the back of my neck” for suggesting the disastrous outcome we have today.

    Nicola Sturgeon – 2020 Comments on Erasmus

    The comments made by Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister, on 24 December 2020.

    There will be lots of focus – rightly – on the economic costs of Brexit. But ending UK participation in Erasmus – an initiative that has expanded opportunities and horizons for so many young people – is cultural vandalism by the UK government.
