MINISTERS in Scotland are under pressure to set up a scheme to replace the EU's Erasmus student exchange programme as Angus Robertson and Lorna Slater embark on a two day visit to Brussels.
The European Movement in Scotland say the Scottish Government’s decision to shelve plans to replace the scheme, as revealed by The Herald this month, is depriving young people of life-changing opportunities.
Post Brexit, students in England, Scotland and Wales are barred from taking part in the EU's Erasmus+, the world's biggest student exchange programme, after the UK Government opted to leave the scheme and set up the successor Turing programme.
