Brexit minister David Davis is being urged to protect a £112m EU student exchange scheme, due to fears the UK will be locked out of the program after Brexit, The Guardian reports.
"We do really want there to be prioritisation on the Erasmus Plus because it is important – it has a direct impact on the students and the economy," said its director, Ruth Sinclair-Jones, who is based at the British Council.
The Erasmus Plus program allows students to study in one of 33 European countries for free for up to one year, with EU funds covering costs.
