answer text <p>The 2022 Independent Commission for Aid Impact report recommended FCDO accelerate work with partner governments to improve its ability to collect and use reliable data on children's learning. As a result, we developed a new Data for Foundational Learning programme, of up to £27 million (2023 - 2027), to strengthen the data on children's learning in low- and middle-income countries. This programme started implementation in March 2023. Through the Global Coalition for Foundational Learning, we are promoting a shared commitment to foundational learning for all. Additionally, we are improving our internal results framework to better measure impact on improving learning.</p> more like this

All education programmes are gender responsive and given the specific barriers that girls face, the vast majority of our programmes also involve targeted interventions to support girls and other marginalised groups. For example, our flagship £500 million Girls' Education Challenge programme and £70 million Girls' Education in South Sudan programme are focused primarily on girls' education.</p><p>In addition to our Education ODA, the UK funds many other programmes that support girls' education such as programmes to tackle violence against girls and child marriage, and support to sexual and reproductive health and rights.</p>
