<ol><li>The Prime Minister has publicly stated that education, particularly standing
up for the right of every girl in the world to have 12 years of quality education,
is a priority for the UK. Between 2009 and 2018, the Government spent £7.08 billion
bilaterally from the public purse to support the fulfilment of the UN sustainable
development goal on education. This does not include all multilateral spend. Between
2015 and 2019 DFID supported 14.8 million children to gain a decent education, of
which at least 5.8 million were girls. UKAid is spent in the countries that need it
the most. From 2015 to 2018, the largest number of children supported by DFID education
programmes was in Africa, where the majority of out of school children live. Most
of the children supported by DFID’s education programmes live in fragile states.</li></ol>
