education is central to the UK’s drive to tackle poverty, boost economic growth, improve
stability, reduce conflict and to address climate change.</p><p>The UK is a leading
donor and between 2015 and 2019 UK Aid supported 14.3 million children to gain a decent
education.</p><p>DFID’s 2018 education policy sets UK priorities for global education
to:</p><p>- Improve teaching: develop teacher’s skills and knowledge, boost motivation,
retain and monitor performance,</p><p>- Back education reforms which deliver results
in the classroom, to make systems more accountable, inclusive and effective,</p><p>-
Step up targeted support for the most marginalised children (focusing on hard to reach

this by providing focused support in 20 countries and supporting education in a further
50 through global programmes such as the Girls’ Education Challenge and support to
the Global Partnership for Education.</p>
