<p>The amount of bilateral ODA spent on education programmes in fragile or conflict-affected
states where humanitarian programming is also active for the last three years is:
£143.9 million in 2012, £226.3 million in 2013 and £199.9 million in 2014. Between
2010 and 2015 DFID supported 11m children in school, of which 7.5m were in fragile
or conflict-affected states. DFID has again pledged to support 11m girls and boys
with a decent education between 2015 and 2020.</p><p> </p><p>DFID is supporting improvements
to how the international community provides education in emergencies, including leadership
to establish the ‘No Lost Generation’ Initiative to provide over 251,000 Syrian children
with education inside Syria and in the region. At the Conference on Supporting Syria
and the Region on 4<sup>th</sup> February we were instrumental in getting the international
community to agree that all Syrian refugee children and affected host country children
should be in education – formal school or non-formal – by the end of 2016/17.</p>
