Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to ensure the government of Burma provides education for Rohingya children.

The United Kingdom continues to press the government of Burma to take steps to ensure that all communities in Rakhine, including the Rohingya, are able to access basic services like education and healthcare.

In 2014, British funding to Rakhine provided education services to over 4,000 primary school-age children in camps for displaced people through temporary learning spaces, recruited and trained volunteer teachers in Sittwe and Pauktaw townships and renovated three schools in surrounding communities.
