<p>The department’s estimated Official Development Assistance (ODA) spend in 2018
was £20 million, which also included a £5 million contribution to the Association
of Commonwealth Universities’ scholarship endowment fund. This spend was announced
last April and exclusively funds master’s level scholarships for citizens of ODA-eligible
Commonwealth countries.</p><p>This estimate of spending on ODA primarily relates to
the provision of education of child and unaccompanied child asylum seekers in the
12 months after they make an asylum claim in the UK. The department estimates how
much of the wider core schools funding for England is allocated due to having these
children on schools’ rolls. The estimate does not include any spending on independent
schools.</p>
