Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
What steps her Department is taking to help ensure that girls throughout the world receive a high-quality education.
2021 is a year of UK leadership. With the G7, we agreed new targets to get 40 million more girls in school and 20 million more girls reading by 2026.
We raised $4 billion [£2.9 billion] for the Global Partnership for Education, boosting the world’s poorest countries’ COVID recovery. At COP26, we will show girls’ education is essential for responding to the climate crisis.
