The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement guarantees that UK investors and service suppliers will be able to access the EU’s markets and will not be subject to discriminatory barriers to trade. The agreement includes gold standard rules on services and investment liberalisation.

The Department is engaging with education exporters to help the sector understand and adapt to these new trading conditions, including those within the EdTech sector.
