Written Question
Palestinians: Schools
Wednesday 4th March 2020

Asked by: Robert Largan (Conservative - High Peak)

Question to the Department for International Development:

What progress has been made on the international review into the books included in the Palestinian Authority’s school curriculum.

Answered by James Cleverly - Home Secretary

Following the UK’s calls for international action, an EU sponsored independent review of Palestinian textbooks is currently underway. We understand that an interim report will be completed in Spring 2020 with the full report due later this year. The Development Secretary made it clear that incitement in education is unacceptable when she spoke with the PA Education Minister last week and she held him to account on progress to remove hateful content.
