On 26 January 2016, the European Commission issued reviews of the first year of the new Erasmus+ Programme, the bigger and more fit-for-purpose programme for education, training, youth and sport. The Commission suggested that the programme is living up to expectations. The figures revealed that in 2014, Erasmus+ had already benefited more people through a wider range of opportunities. In its first year, the programme had supported a record 650,000 mobility grants for students, trainees, teachers, volunteers and other young people. The new Erasmus+ is also more open, with a strong focus placed on social inclusion and young people's employment prospects. |
