To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs on the impact of international development spending on girls’ education.

Asked by:
Sarah Green (Liberal Democrat)

Between 2015 and 2020 FCDO supported 8.1 million girls to gain a decent education.

Through our Girls’ Education Challenge programme, we have supported up to 1.6 million girls, and over 150,000 girls with disabilities, to make progress in school.

We will soon launch a new campaign on girls’ education results, to demonstrate the lifechanging impact of UK funding.
