GuildHE has responded to this week's government announcement of a new agreement with the European Union.

GuildHE Policy Manager Dana Gamble said:

"We welcome the Prime Minister's announcement of a new strategic partnership with the European Union. Rejoining the Erasmus+ student exchange programme would provide students from the UK with unmatched educational and personal growth opportunities. We also welcome efforts to establish a Youth Experience scheme that would move us towards a more efficient UK-EU talent exchange pipeline for businesses, artists and industry professionals. If implemented, these arrangements will set a refreshed foundation of opportunity for students and working people in the UK and support the government's growth mission."
