answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>Every child has a right to a good quality education. DFID’s education policy <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fdfid-education-policy-2018-get-children-learning&amp;data=02%7C01%7CM-Clancy%40dfid.gsx.gov.uk%7C89db3219247343412f4e08d70b78b187%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C636990485307131931&amp;sdata=U3JKXuko4TOTu2YqLzZpglLhSztYMkxATm6MaNVZfxs%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Get Children Learning</a> makes clear that the state is the guarantor of quality basic education for all, but need not be the sole financer or provider of education services. This is the position we will continue to a) promote to partner countries and b) reinforce publicly. We welcome the focus in the UN Special Rapporteur’s Report on the importance of regulation in education systems.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 22/07/2019 16:08:37 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if he will make an assessment of the implications for the Government's policies of the finding of the UN Special Rapporteur on Education presented to the UN Human Rights Council in July 2019 that public-private partnerships in education that focus on involving private actors for service delivery have empirically largely failed, in particular in fragile countries.
