<p>Special Envoy for Girls Education, Helen Grant MP, will meet the Nigerian Education
Minister on May 20 to discuss Nigeria's upcoming programme of education reform. The
UK and Nigeria are signatories of the Safe School Declaration which commits governments
to protect education from violence. The UK supports the implementation of the Safe
Schools Initiative in Nigeria through its Education in Emergencies and Protracted
Crises (EiEPC) programme. This provides assistance to children affected by conflict
in Borno and Yobe states, allowing them to learn foundational skills, increase their
resilience and strengthen systems which support formal and non-formal education during
emergencies.</p>
