<p>We have built on the momentum of the G7 and UK-hosted Global Education Summit to
push forward progress on girls' education. At COP26 we shone a spotlight on the links
between education and climate and called for countries to prioritise early learning
in their efforts to mitigate climate change. In Afghanistan the UK has called for
girls' right to secondary education to be restored, and UK humanitarian funds are
helping provide safe spaces for learning for 38,000 displaced children, including
28,000 girls.</p><p>As of mid-December, more than 647 million school children were
still affected by partial or full school closures. Ministers are pressing national
governments to reopen schools as a matter of priority, while our bilateral education
programmes and flagship Girls' Education Challenge continue to support children to
catch-up on the learning they have lost. On 26 January the UK helped launch a new
report by the Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel focused on recovering children's
education, as part of our commitment to increase the global evidence base for education
reform.</p>
