answer text <p>DFID has supported 11m children in school between 2010-2015 and has pledged to support 11m girls and boys with a decent education between 2015 and 2020. DFID’s disability framework can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/487924/DFID-Disability-Framework-2015a.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/487924/DFID-Disability-Framework-2015a.pdf</a>.</p><p>However, we do have some programmes focusing on marginalised people, including those with disabilities. One example is the £355m Girls Education Challenge (GEC) which runs 37 projects across 18 countries over 5 years. It supports up to 1 million marginalised girls, including those with disabilities, to progress through primary and secondary school by 2017. Within the GEC, there are two projects that focus exclusively on getting girls with disabilities back into school and learning (in Kenya and Uganda). The total budget for the lifetime of these two projects is £5.1m.</p>

answer text <p>The UK Government has committed to help train 190,000 teachers by 2015, to help improve the quality of education for all children, including those with disabilities. By 2013/14, DFID had supported the training of 123,000 teachers. A major challenge in poor countries is developing the data systems which can capture the needs of children with disabilities. We are therefore supporting UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) to regularly publish education indicators which disaggregate people with disabilities, and to develop new standards for school censuses and surveys related to marginalised populations.</p><p> </p> more like this
