question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that the provision of aid for the education of boys and young men overseas is conditional upon the inclusion of teaching on the importance of respect and understanding for girls and women.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL11134
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2020 answer text <p>The UK is committed to standing up for the right of every girl to access 12 years of quality education. Girls' education matters because it is one of the greatest tools for addressing discrimination against women and girls. It initiates a virtuous circle, giving women and girls a greater voice to advocate for changes in their own lives and the lives of others. Between 2015 and 2019 the UK supported 14.3 million children to gain a decent education, of which at least 5.8 million were girls.</p><p>Through its programmes, the FCDO works with whole communities, including boys and men, to change their attitudes and behaviours towards girls and women. However, gender bias and discrimination is widespread within and across education systems, from teacher recruitment and training to curriculum and material development, to gender-based violence in and around schools. FCDO staff ensure that the teaching and learning materials we fund are inclusive and reflect gender equality. Staff do this by working closely with experts to develop gender-friendly materials with strong role models, ensuring that text and visuals are independently quality assured and vetted, supporting inclusive and learner-focused teaching methods and funding student clubs that facilitate discussions around gender equality.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/12/2020 10:48:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
