<p>We are at an unprecedented moment when almost the entire school-going population
is out of school, affecting more than 1.5 billion children, half of them girls. Girls’
education is a top UK development priority and officials are assessing how multilateral
and other investments can mitigate short-term risks while schools are closed and protect
education systems and finance for the medium to long-term.</p><p>The UK is the largest
donor to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). We have supported GPE to urgently
repurpose resources to support distance learning and help countries prepare plans
to re-open schools through a dedicated $250 million COVID-19 accelerated funding window.
Beyond this, the UK has not provided additional funds to GPE.</p>
