The Prime Minister has announced a £55 million aid package to drive crucial research into global education reforms, turbocharging efforts to get girls into school and learning.

Improving girls’ access to education is a key part of the UK’s G7 Presidency and is at the heart of global efforts to build back better from the pandemic. Investing in education helps lift communities out of poverty and protects girls from early marriage and forced labour.

Supporting girls to get 12 years of quality education is one of the smartest investments we can make as the world recovers from Covid-19. At this decisive junction in our recovery from the pandemic, we are committed to ensuring that everyone can access a quality education - delivering a more sustainable, peaceful and resilient future.
