<p>The UK Government is committed to ensuring all children are able to complete a
full cycle of quality education. Between 2011 and 2015 DFID supported over 11 million
children into primary and lower secondary school (7.5 million children in countries
considered fragile), and training 380,000 teachers through our multilateral partners.
In 2015, the UK again committed to support a further 11 million children in the poorest
countries to gain a decent education by 2020.</p><p>DFID is also supporting up to
one million of the world’s poorest girls through DFID’s Girls Education Challenge
(GEC). In July, DFID co-hosted the first, hugely successful Girls’ Education Forum
in London and announced a further £100 million through the GEC to continue this support
and help an additional 175,000 of the poorest, most marginalised adolescent girls
in the world to get a decent education.</p>
