star this property answer text <p>DFID’s education policy “Get Children Learning,” launched in February 2018, sets out that the state is the guarantor of quality basic education for all, but need not be the sole financer or provider of education services. In financial year 2016/17 we carried out a one-off exercise to calculate the proportion of DFID’s education spend going to public education. Our conclusion was “<em>DFID invests overwhelmingly in the public sector with over 95% of education funding going to public education”.</em> This was a snapshot of the education portfolio at the time. This calculated education spend on DFID’s bilateral and centrally-managed programmes including those operating in Pakistan, Kenya and Nigeria that provided funding to low cost private schools. To repeat the exercise and provide a year on year breakdown would incur a disproportionate cost. We continue to take a pragmatic approach in our support to education, using a range of delivery partners to provide children with the education they deserve. In some cases this includes for-profit organisations who deliver services through the public education system.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>Children living through conflict and crisis are particularly vulnerable to violence, including violent attacks against their schools. That’s why the UK is proud to have signed up to the Safe Schools Declaration and is a leading donor to Education Cannot Wait – a fund to provide education in emergencies with the protection of children at its core.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As set out in DFID’s Education Policy ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfid-education-policy-2018-get-children-learning" target="_blank">Get Children Learning</a>’, preventing and responding to violence against children in schools is a key priority for DFID. This has the potential for positive impacts beyond increasing child safety at school, through achieving better-quality education, and safer, more stable societies. As such DFID welcomes the policy priorities set out in the Send My Friend to School report ‘Safe from harm: Protecting every child and teacher at school.’</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>DFID has a long history of work to make schools safe. Through the Girls’ Education Challenge and What Works to Prevent Violence programmes, in particular, we have prevented and responded to physical, emotional and sexual violence in schools in countries all over the world and established the evidence base for what works. DFID is also partnering with the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children, the United Nations Children’s Fund and others to launch the international ‘Safe to Learn’ campaign in 2019. This campaign intends to spark and accelerate action to end all violence in schools.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>DFID is helping to educate millions of girls in fragile and conflict affected states. The UK was a co-founder of Education Cannot Wait (ECW), a new fund to deliver quality education for children living in emergency and conflict settings. ECW investments in Chad and Ethiopia will support thousands of girls. We support a million marginalised girls to learn through the Girls’ Education Challenge programme; 70% of phase one programmes are set in fragile and conflict affected states. DFID also supports girls’ education through our bilateral programmes, such as the Girls Education in South Sudan (GESS) programme. To date, GESS has reached over 185,000 individual girls with cash transfers and 3810 schools have received grants.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The UK is committed to ensuring all children are able to complete a full cycle of quality education. The UK’s approach combines strengthening education systems to ensure better delivery of education; improving accountability for results, within systems and between citizens and service providers; and improving what happens in classrooms.</p><p>Over the last five years, UK Aid has supported over 11 million girls and boys into primary and lower secondary schools. DFID has pledged to help another 11 million children gain a decent education between 2015 and 2020.</p><p>DFID directly supported cash transfer programmes in 19 countries between 2011 and 2015. Of these 11 countries had cash transfer programmes with education targets, which aim to enable poor and vulnerable children to go to school. The education benefits from cash transfers are either direct if the transfer is made conditional on attendance, or indirect if ‎recipient families choose to spend the transfer on the costs of education. For example in Ethiopia the cash transfer programme did not have an education target but transfers have helped improve school attendance and learning.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
