Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if she will make it her policy to provide financial support to the International Financing Facility for Education.
The UK supports the principle of a new financing mechanism for education led by the multilateral development banks to target the financing gap in lower middle income countries. DFID is engaged in the technical design work led by the Education Commission. When this is concluded I will set out the UK’s final position.
