<p>The FCDO is committed to addressing barriers to education. An essential part of
this is engaging with children, particularly girls, on the issues that affect them.
In May 2023, officials met with adolescent girls to hear about the barriers to education
they are facing, including early marriage, gender-based violence, poverty and conflict.
Girls' Clubs, implemented through the UK's Girls' Education Challenge projects, consult
students on the barriers they face to education and how best to overcome them. Club
members in the Somali Girls' Education Promotion Programme achieved significantly
higher gains in learning - 6.6 percentage points over and above their peers.</p>
