Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2025 to Question 36405 on International Day of Education, how much funding his Department will provide for global education in 2025-26 and subsequent financial years in the spending review period.

The transition to spending 0.3 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) on Official Development Assistance (ODA) demands significant shifts in the scale and shape of our ODA spending, in line with the shifts underway as we modernise our approach to development. Our 2025/26 ODA allocations will play an important role in laying the foundations for the pivot in our approach to development and sharpening of our priorities to help smooth the transition to 0.3 per cent.

We will publish the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's final 2025/26 ODA programme allocations in the Annual Report & Accounts in July.
