UK Scraps Education Programme That Was Meant to Keep 1 Million Girls in School
The Guardian·Tuesday, 7 July 2026
The British government has cancelled the Strengthening Higher Education for Female Empowerment (SHEFE) programme just two years after launching it. The scheme was aimed at keeping 1 million girls in school across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and was cut as part of broader UK aid reductions.
Why It Matters
India is in the programme's target region of Asia, meaning Indian girls and young women could have been among those affected by both the programme and its cancellation.
