answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The UK government is deeply concerned about the findings of the IMPACT-se report into the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) new curriculum and it remains a priority for the Department for International Development (DFID) to commission an independent review of the PA’s textbooks. I personally will be meeting with the PA’s Minister for Education to discuss these issues this week. Our timeline for the textbook review remains unchanged. We will publish findings from the review by September 2019. The UK has been convening discussions with potential international partners on commissioning the review together, in order to increase the impact of the study. We will commission the review once we have concluded these discussions. We will publish further information once the assessment has been commissioned.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 21/01/2019 17:19:14 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
