The new provision applies to students enrolled in secondary and specialised secondary vocational education programmes. Participants will also be eligible for loans to cover expenses related to travelling abroad, including transport and other costs.
Work and Travel opportunities will be available for trips to European Union countries, South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
