Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2025

Debate

Erasmus+

Contribution

The noble Earl raises the most important point. Currently, 60% of our schools are struggling to recruit modern foreign language teachers. There is a genuine issue about how we ensure that not just students but their teachers and supporting staff have opportunities in this space. That is one of the benefits of us rejoining the Erasmus scheme, and as part of our negotiations, we will seek to ensure the fullest opportunities, including in respect of staffing.
