<p>Education, particularly standing up for the right of every girl in the world to
have 12 years of quality education, is a priority for the UK. In Yemen we are supporting
education through two global funds: Education Cannot Wait and the Global Partnership
for Education.</p><p>Since 2017, Education Cannot Wait has committed over £13 million
to Yemen, providing 1.3 million children with safe learning spaces, supporting 1.2
million students in preparing for and taking national exams, and making incentive
payments to teachers whose salaries had not been paid for prolonged periods. The Global
Partnership for Education has provided over £28.5 million to support education in
Yemen since 2013, benefitting more than 400,000 children through improved schooling
and teacher training, in particular focusing on ensuring girls have better access
to education.</p>
