Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report that the Board of Peace is seeking that the Palestinian Authorities remove all references to Palestine in their curriculum and published education materials.

The UK is not a member of the Board of Peace. We do not comment on speculation in reporting. The UK government  has welcomed the Palestinian Authority's commitment to deliver its 'National Program for Development and Reform' in full as a matter of priority - and will continue to encourage and support them to ensure the curriculum meets United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) standards.
