Return the United Kingdom to the Erasmus Scheme

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the undersigned do hereby request that Her Majesty's Government, immediately reverse the decision to withdraw the United Kingdom from the Erasmus scheme and interlink that with the plan to create The Turing Programme.
Since it's formation in 1987, many Millions of British Students' have had the opportunity to both explore the beauty of our European partners, but also learn in new and developing university's across the continent.

The Turing Programme as announced, will only truly work and deliver the same opportunities for this generation of students', IF Erasmus - which has a known structure all in place, is at the core factor of the proposal.
