Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the £15.8 million he announced on 12 July 2021 for education for children is part of the £430 million announced by the Prime Minister at the G7 summit for the Global Partnership for Education.

No, the £15.8 million announced on 12 July for research to support education for children in conflict and crisis settings is not part of the £430 million announced by the Prime Minister at the G7 summit for the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).

The funding is a separate £15.8 million from FCDO's research budget specifically for research on education in conflict and crisis.
