Palestine: Education

Asked by Jack RankinConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 6 January 2026UIN 100081

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether there are any conditions applied to funding support for education in the Palestinian Authority.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

I refer the Hon Member to the answers provided on 18 November to Question 88033, and on 16 December to Question 98592. In addition, it should be noted that the UK does not fund any educational material issued by the Palestinian Authority. We provide support to United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, which is accompanied with stringent attention to implementation of their neutrality policy, including how they apply this to textbooks.
