To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they are collaborating with the Global Partnership for Education to ensure that more children with disabilities can access quality basic education.
Baroness Northover
DFID is collaborating with the Global Partnership for Education on the design of their new funding model to incentivise countries to improve their collection and use of data on children with disabilities. Currently there are very limited data in most developing countries. GPE will also work to strengthen the quality of education sector plans – particularly on how they address disability issues.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Goudie on 2014-05-07.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to work with the Global Partnership for Education to ensure that an ambitious goal and targets are agreed for education for all after 2015.
Baroness Northover
DFID is working across Her Majesty’s Government and with its international partners in education including the Global Partnership for Education to aim to ensure that, by 2030, all girls and boys completing primary education are able to read, write and count. We are also looking to be more ambitious by increasing the proportion of young women and young men with the technical and transferable skills to get decent jobs.
The main process to define a new goal for education is being led by UNESCO through its Education For All Steering Committee. The UK is represented by Norway and working closely with Norwegian counterparts to further our priorities.
