answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The UK is committed to focusing on reaching the most marginalised children; including those with disabilities. We have publicly committed; to ensure all educational construction directly funded by DFID is fully accessible; and to work with partners to improve data on children with disabilities and special educational needs, both in- and out-of-education.</p><p>For example in the Middle East and North Africa we are working closely with partners to identify children with disabilities and to understand their needs. In Jordan we have trained more than 11,000 teachers, supervisors and administrators on how to deliver effective reading and maths instruction including skills to identify and assess children with a disability in their classroom. In Lebanon, through the Ministry of Education, we are supporting teacher training, differentiated learning and other measures to create more inclusive school environments, as well as tracking results around referral of children and youth with special needs.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/07/2017 16:39:49 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

question text	Her Majesty's Government whether any official aid money has been or is planned to be allocated to North Korea; and if so for what purpose.
tabling member printed	Lord Naseby
uin	HL91
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government condemns both the persistent widespread human rights abuses of the North Korean regime and the consistent attempts of that regime to develop nuclear weapons in defiance of international law. No UK money goes directly to the regime in North Korea, and there is no DFID bilateral aid programme. A number of multilateral agencies that work in North Korea receive funding via the UK’s core contributions to these organisations. The FCO scaled back project work after the fourth nuclear test – but continues to fund some small-scale projects aimed at improving the lives of the most vulnerable in DPRK society. This will be kept under review.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 05/07/2017 16:40:30 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
