Since brexit in 2016, the numbers of foreign students in England have been declining, maybe Johnson did not consider the 200 million Euros per year from the EU as enough.

"While this year many students could not and cannot take part in the Erasmus exchange program anyway due to the coronavirus pandemic, the number of foreign students in the United Kingdom had already declined before. Brexit is cited as the reason for this.

While the UK has long been considered "the place to be", especially among young French, German and Spanish students, the former EU member state on the other side of the English Channel has apparently lost its popularity: In the 2018/2019 survey period, 11,656 foreign students were in London, Newcastle & Co. In the EU country Spain, however, there were significantly more at 15,175.

Laure Coudret-Laut, director of the Erasmus + France agency based in Bordeaux, told the AFP news agency about this change: “This topic has been with us for a long time.” The students would now prefer other destinations that also offer courses in English . “Many go to Norway, Finland and Ireland. The number of students there has increased significantly. So other exchange partners were found."
