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.
True, it’s obviously bad to have your universities educate more students and possibly keep them as future researchers. Terrible, really.
The biggest benficiary of Erasmus would obviously be a country whose students all left to study abroad. I can’t see how this would pose a problem whatsoever.
