"The replacement for the Erasmus study exchange scheme will not fund tuition or travel costs, it has emerged – and the living allowance has been slashed.
The reality of the new project has triggered fresh accusations that ministers are crushing the hopes of huge numbers of students who want to live, study and travel abroad.
Boris Johnson promised last year that there was “no threat” to the hugely-popular Erasmus programme, but his Brexit trade deal then pulled the plug."
The European Commission paid travel costs of up to £1,315, but only students from the most disadvantaged backgrounds will receive help from the UK government.
And, most significantly, free studies in any EU country, plus some others in Europe, has been replaced by pressure on universities and colleges to strike deals."
Thus Boris lies yet again...
The rich of course will be able to carry on regardless, whilst the rest lose the chance to experience a different culture.
Whilst most UK students will be forced into crippling tuition fees/living costs in the UK.
And the UK xenophobic project grows by the day!
But that's what the brexiteers wanted...
A few 'taking back control' financially and the majority suffering!
