Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what proportion of the £83.0 million allocated to the Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria will be spent on supporting the (a) state and (b) the private sector.

Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria targets 54% of funds to support state systems to enable more focused teaching and learning, more efficient and effective use of resources to support foundational skills and a greater focus on achieving results.

6% of the programme’s funds will be used to support improved non-state systems, including low cost private education.

The remaining 40% of the programme will support community engagement on education, education in emergencies and research and evidence.
