<p>At the Conference on Supporting Syria and the Region, we want the international
community to agree a new goal that all Syrian refugee children and affected host country
children are in education – formal school or non-formal – by the end of 2016/17. Equally,
for inside Syria, it is our aim to increase access to good quality schooling or other
learning opportunities such as self-learning and non-formal education. In neighbouring
countries we will also increase access to vocational or skills training and higher
education for children and youth.</p><p>At the Conference our ambition is that international
donors, governments from countries in the region hosting refugees, non-governmental
organisations and the private sector come together to agree a set of reciprocal financial
and policy commitments. The UK and co-hosts are working with donors and other partners
to secure increased funding for education under the UN-led appeals for 2016 and longer
term, multi-year education funding commitments to ensure sustainability. We are also
working with refugee hosting governments in particular to agree the policy commitments
necessary to turn increased funding into delivery on the ground.</p><br />
