<p>As one of the largest donors to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), DFID
is helping to ensure that children in Kenya have access to high quality education.
GPE supports the Government of Kenya to develop national education sector plans, improve
early grade mathematics and strengthen school management systems. Through UK support
to the Girls’ Education Challenge, we are also improving learning opportunities and
outcomes for Kenya’s most marginalised girls.</p><p> </p><p>In partnership with the
Kenyan Ministry of Education in 2015, DFID provided funding to rigorously test a new
structured approach to early grade teaching. The approach helped teachers better meet
the needs of all students, provided continual coaching and monitoring, and improved
teaching materials. The Kenyan Government scaled the approach nationwide. Independent
research shows this reform led to the percentage of grade two children meeting learning
benchmarks in English rising from 34% to 65%.</p>
