Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they currently pay for the children of ambassadors and embassy staff to attend international schools.
This question was answered on 21st July 2014
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) meets the costs of suitable schooling, including international schools, to help staff of all grades who take up overseas postings to meet their legal obligation to ensure that their children receive an education. Types of school attended by the children of staff vary by country of posting and the availability of places.
