	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2020 answer text <p>The UK is committed to standing up for the right of every girl to access 12 years of quality education. Girls' education matters because it is one of the greatest tools for addressing discrimination against women and girls. It initiates a virtuous circle, giving women and girls a greater voice to advocate for changes in their own lives and the lives of others. Between 2015 and 2019 the UK supported 14.3 million children to gain a decent education, of which at least 5.8 million were girls.</p><p>Through its programmes, the FCDO works with whole communities, including boys and men, to change their attitudes and behaviours towards girls and women. However, gender bias and discrimination is widespread within and across education systems, from teacher recruitment and training to curriculum and material development, to gender-based violence in and around schools. FCDO staff ensure that the teaching and learning materials we fund are inclusive and reflect gender equality. Staff do this by working closely with experts to develop gender-friendly materials with strong role models, ensuring that text and visuals are independently quality assured and vetted, supporting inclusive and learner-focused teaching methods and funding student clubs that facilitate discussions around gender equality.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/12/2020 10:48:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

We are the largest donor to the Global Partnership for Education which works with governments, including in fragile and conflict affected countries, to strengthen government education systems. In February, we announced a new pledge of £80 million to Education Cannot Wait, the global fund for education in emergencies.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 31/05/2023 13:04:57 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/05/2023 answer text <p>The 2022 Independent Commission for Aid Impact report recommended FCDO accelerate work with partner governments to improve its ability to collect and use reliable data on children's learning. As a result, we 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. This programme started implementation in March 2023. Through the Global Coalition for Foundational Learning, we are promoting a shared commitment to foundational learning for all. Additionally, we are improving our internal results framework to better measure impact on improving learning.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 31/05/2023 13:04:22 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2024 answer text <p>The UK prioritises foundational learning (literacy, numeracy and socio-emotional skills) for all children across our education programmes. This recognises that foundational learning is crucial to achieving higher order skills and reaping the full benefits of education. We are focused on delivering evidence-based interventions. A key part of the evidence on what works in literacy is ensuring that children learn in their mother tongue. We therefore advocate for the teaching of basic early education in children's native language. We encourage countries to delay the transition to another language of instruction to later in children's education once they have secured foundational learning.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 04/03/2024 10:02:26 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
