<p>The UK is committing to providing long-term support for education in emergencies
and crises, including education to refugees and internally displaced children. A key
example is the Syria region. Through the No Lost Generation Initiative, we’ve announced
a further £240m for education in Jordan and Lebanon over the next four years, on top
of the £115 million already provided to give every child in the region access to education.
The recent London Syria conference has resulted in international pledges to get every
refugee and vulnerable child in the host countries bordering Syria, into quality education
by the end of the next academic year. These commitments were re-emphasised at the
World Humanitarian Summit through an event on <em>No Lost Generation: Empowering Youth
Affected by the Syria Crisis.</em></p><p>In addition, the UK has been a leading force
behind Education Cannot Wait – a new fund for education in emergencies, which was
launched at the World Humanitarian Summit. A key focus for the fund will be on ensuring
that all children and young people are able to access a quality education including
refugees and internally displaced children. The International Development Secretary
announced a £30 million UK commitment to the fund, as a founding donor to this important
initiative.</p>
