In financial year 2016/17 we carried out a one-off exercise to calculate the proportion of DFID\u2019s education spend going to public education. Our conclusion was \u201cDFID invests overwhelmingly in the public sector with over 95% of education funding going to public education\u201d.<\/em> This was a snapshot of the education portfolio at the time. This calculated education spend on DFID\u2019s bilateral and centrally-managed programmes including those operating in Pakistan, Kenya and Nigeria that provided funding to low cost private schools. To repeat the exercise and provide a year on year breakdown would incur a disproportionate cost. We continue to take a pragmatic approach in our support to education, using a range of delivery partners to provide children with the education they deserve. In some cases this includes for-profit organisations who deliver services through the public education system.<\/p> <\/p>"}
