Written Question
Palestinians: Schools
Monday 30th March 2020

Asked by: Mary Robinson (Conservative - Cheadle)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent discussions she has had with the Palestinian Authority on the Authority's internal review of the content of its national curriculum after reports of antisemitic and extremist content.

Answered by James Cleverly

The UK government is deeply concerned about the allegations of incitement in the Palestinian Authority’s school textbooks.

The International Development Secretary reiterated our concerns in a call to the Palestinian Authority’s Education Minister just last month, where they also discussed the Palestinian Authority’s own textbook review.
