<p>At the Conference on Supporting Syria and the Region being held in London on 4<sup>th</sup>
February, 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>
