Exclusive: Government strips council of role in programme, which replaced Erasmus after Brexit
The British Council will be stripped of its role in running the £110m Turing student exchange scheme and replaced by the outsourcing firm Capita, the Guardian has learned.
The decision, which has yet to be made public, has shocked higher education insiders, who fear the loss of the British Council’s long experience with international educational exchanges. The council has helped hundreds of thousands of young people find work and study placements abroad.
