The number 1 priority is clearly Vocation Education, with €230,5m of the €385m allocated to this effect. Most of it will be used for the development of level 1 & level 2 qualifications and over €10m for quality improvement of higher level programmes. Only €7m is for foreign languages learning, including funds for language assistants and programmes overseas for teachers and students. The rest of the funds are allocated to a variety of actions of lesser relevance for UK stakeholders.
Funding is distributed through regional governments. Andalucía (€86m+), Valencia (€49m+) & Madrid (€48m+) receive nearly half of all funding. Any bidding opportunity which we identify will be announced through SIEM.
