UK lifts Brexit obstacles for French students

The United Kingdom on Thursday lifted some costly obstacles placed on school trips post Brexit, but only for students from France as campaigners.

The British Educational Travel Association (BETA) described Thursday's changes as "a positive step ahead," while urging the UK government to expand them for the entire European Union.

The BETA is pushing also for a new scheme that would allow groups of EU nationals and residents aged under 18 to travel to the UK for up to six weeks for educational visits.
