00:00Well, listen, I'm here at the New City College in Hackney, further education institution, absolutely brilliant to be here.
00:07And able to say that following the agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union in May,
00:14when we spoke about accession to the Erasmus Plus programme, that we now have concluded those negotiations,
00:22that will be happening from 2027.
00:25And this government is all about opportunities for people.
00:29And Erasmus Plus offers a wide range of opportunities, not just for those at universities,
00:35but those at further education colleges, indeed, absolutely like this one.
00:40But youth work experience, sports experience, adult learner experience, it's a really exciting day to be making this announcement.
00:49I'm looking forward now to making sure that people from all different backgrounds can access the Erasmus Plus programme.
00:59I'm determined to drive forward that work in the months ahead.
