Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

The recent Government's decision on facilitating continued access to Erasmus mobilities is focused on higher education students in Northern Ireland institutions. However I have asked my officials to explore the issues regarding students pursuing further education programmes in Northern Ireland and to report to me shortly.
