Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students are on placements on the Turing Scheme for year 2021-2; and how much his Department will spend on that Scheme in 2021-2.

The Turing Scheme has a total budget of £110 million for delivery and grant funding this academic year. Funding has been allocated for more than 40,000 participants from schools, colleges and universities to do study and work placements across the globe during the 2021/22 academic year.

A list of all funded organisations in higher education, further education and schools, as well as all destination countries and territories, can be found on the Turing Scheme website: https://www.turing-scheme.org.uk/project-community/funding-results/.
