First Erasmus is taken away from students and now the government post-Brexit 'replacement' scheme has been privatised. This government really don't care about young people (outside of they're privileged bubble).
I'm beyond angry.
What fresh Hell is this?!
“The British Council will be stripped of its role in running the £110m Turing student exchange scheme and replaced by the outsourcing firm Capita.”
I’m disgusted. Erasmus+ has now been replaced by a private profiteering scheme.
