Brexit Impact: UK Department of Education Releases Official Statement Regarding Brexit

Some experts believe that the educational sector in Britain will not take much of a hit after the country's exit from the European Union, but this does not appear to be the general consensus. The United Kingdom Department of Education has recently come up with an official statement, which provides an update to the state of their education. Luckily, so far, the update contains some good news.

The official statement reads, "Our goal is to provide world-class education and care that allows every child and young person to reach his or her potential, regardless of background." It also claims that more than 1.4 million students have been receiving a high quality of education since the turn of the decade, resulting from the efforts of both students and their instructors alike.

The exit of the country from the European Union through this referendum, however, means that students who could have found it easier to go to the United Kingdom before and study there can now face a tough time, considering all the fees and processes that will be mandated once the Brexit is officially completed. However, the Department of Education claims that there will be no drastic or immediate changes that will be taking effect because of the referendum.

"Current arrangements will continue to apply to European pupils and their families, and to teachers, early years and social work professionals and all others who work with children," says the official statement. This would apply to living, working, and of course studying in the United Kingdom.

They say that schools will continue to promote the high quality of education available in the country. In spite of this, there could be a problem since The Independent has reported that some students do not want to take part in their exams as a direct result of "depression" brought about by the Brexit.
