UK funding contributes to the salaries of individual vetted health and education Palestinian Authority (PA) public servants on the EU Palestinian-European Socio-Economic Management Assistance Mechanism (PEGASE) list, including PA teachers in the West Bank regardless of which school they are employed in. UK funding enables around 25,000 young Palestinians to receive an education annually.
