UK Kills Education Programme That Could Have Kept 1 Million Girls in School
The Guardian·Sunday, 5 July 2026
Britain has scrapped a higher education programme called SHEFE — Strengthening Higher Education for Female Empowerment — just two years after launching it. The scheme was designed to keep 1 million girls in school across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. It was cut as part of broader UK foreign aid reductions.
Why It Matters
India falls within the programme's target region of Asia, meaning Indian girls may have been among those the scheme was intended to support. UK aid cuts directly affect development projects across South Asia.
