Thank God Boris got rid of the EU's Erasmus+ Student Programme & here's why:

🌟€30 billion on EU programme for (mostly) EU27 students

🌟UK gets 1/3rd of the benefit it should

🌟Most popular destinations for UK students: USA and Australia

Other facts include the following.
Pt1... BREXIT http://FACTS4EU.ORG  SUMMARY

The EU's Erasmus+ Student Programme

UK students using Erasmus+ to study abroad : 9,615

Non-UK students using Erasmus+ to study in UK : 18,702

Almost twice as many EU students benefit, compared to UK students
Pt2... Total number of UK students : 1.87 million

Proportion of UK students using the EU’s Erasmus+ programme : 0.51%

Pro-rata by population, the UK should be 11.0% of the total Erasmus+ student numbers

In fact the figure for the UK is only 4.3%
Pt3.. Non-UK Erasmus+ students benefit 2.5 times more than UK students, pro-rated by population

EU’s Erasmus+ budget is set to double, from €14.7 billion to €30 billion

According to the UN, more UK students go to the US and Australia than the rest of the EU combined.
