<p>The Prime Minister has publicly stated that education, particularly girls’ education,
is a priority for the UK. He announced £90 million for education in emergencies and
protracted crisis including £85 million to Education Cannot Wait at the G7 Summit
and this week the UK announced a £515 million package of support for education, including
a £300 million pledge for the new International Finance Facility for Education. Alongside
our commitment to the Global Partnership for Education, the UK is now the leading
bilateral donor to all three major multilateral education funds and continues to be
one of the leading bilateral donors to basic education. At the UN General Assembly
this week, the UK has been calling for others to step up and follow our lead.</p>
