relation to the Goals.</p><p>We include the Goals in our key public engagement work.

delivery of a Goal. And our Connecting Classrooms programme, run with the British
Council, includes free resources for schools, allowing children across the UK to learn
about the Goals.</p><p>During the recent UN General Assembly, the Government highlighted
its commitment to girls’ education, raising awareness of Goal 4 on Quality Education.
