answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2023 answer text <p>The 2022 Independent Commission for Aid Impact report rated the FCDO's education results between 2015-2020 as 'green/amber', demonstrating the effectiveness of our programmes in supporting a decent education for children. The report recommended FCDO accelerate work with partner governments to improve its ability to collect and use good data on children's learning. As a result, we have developed a new Data for Foundational Learning programme, of up to £27 million (2023 - 2027), to strengthen the data on children's learning in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, we are working to improve our results framework to better measure impact on improving learning.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 15/02/2023 15:51:39 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
