Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what meetings have been held by the British Embassy in Rangoon with (1) the National Network for Education Reform in Burma, and (2) the Action Committee for Democratic Education.

The British Embassy and DFID officials, together with UNICEF and officials from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, met with a representative of the Education Seminar Initiative Group (ESIG) in 2012 to discuss plans for the Comprehensive Education Sector Review. The ESIG, together with the National League for Democracy Education Group, went on to set up the National Network for Education Reform in January 2013.
