Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 3 July 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with the Government of China on improving education for girls.
During the UK-China ‘People-to-People’ Dialogue in December 2016, my Rt Hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Health (Mr Hunt) and Education (Ms Greening) discussed gender equality, women’s empowerment, and female education and employment rights with Chinese ministerial counterparts. Women’s empowerment will continue to be a key theme for this year’s ‘People to People’ Dialogue. Our Ambassador in Beijing, Dame Barbara Woodward, is a patron of ‘Inspiring Women China’, and launched a series of events in schools across China in March this year. Planned UK projects in China have girls’ empowerment as a key outcome.
