Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to ringfence a proportion of UK aid for Pakistan’s education sector to support curriculum reform in line with UNESCO standards.

Our education programmes in Pakistan focus on marginalised communities and set ambitious targets for reaching girls and religious minorities, including through: improvements in teaching quality, inclusion, and system reform, which contribute to curriculum development that is aligned with international best practice. All programmes are subject to due diligence and safeguarding and materials are reviewed for equity across gender, ability, ethnicity, and religion before being shared with government counterparts.
