DFID is a leading supporter of the Government of Lebanon’s Reaching All Children with Education (RACE II) plan to get all children into education, including by providing £86.6 million via the World Bank to improve access to quality education in Lebanon. Good progress has been made so with almost 300,000 Syrian refugee children now receiving an education.
