DFID does this through significant investments both bilaterally and multilaterally. In 2016 the UK spent £964 million bilaterally on education, whilst remaining the largest bilateral donor to the Education Cannot Wait and Global Partnership for Education programmes. In addition, the UK is a global leader on girls’ education, with our Girls’ Education Challenge programme helping a million marginalised girls access a quality education since 2012.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 07/06/2018 14:52:24 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Harriett Baldwin
