Developing Countries: Education

Asked by: Annette Brooke (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dorset and North Poole)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to seek international consensus on post-2015 education goals and targets.

Answered by Justine Greening

The Government is advocating for a simple, inspiring, and relevant post-2015 development framework, centred on eradicating extreme poverty. We are actively working with international partners to ensure that access to education and quality of learning is at the heart of the post-2015 focus on education.
