<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 Development for International Development (DFID) to commission an independent
review of the PA’s textbooks. We are also continuing to raise our concerns about incitement,
which the Minister did himself at a meeting with the Palestinian Education Minister
earlier this year. Last week, on 4<sup>th</sup> December, DFID officials met the PA
Minister for Education and raised UK concerns over specific examples in the IMPACT-SE
report.</p><p> </p><p>Our timeline for the textbook review remains unchanged. We will
complete 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 in the new year once
we have concluded these discussions. We will publish further information once the
assessment has been commissioned.</p><p> </p>
