Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that girls in the poorest countries can access education.
Between 2011 and 2015, UKAID supported over five million girls in developing countries to gain an education. By the end of 2017, the flagship Girls’ Education Challenge will enable up to one million marginalised girls to benefit from an education of sufficient quality to help transform their lives.
