Effectiveness, Problems and Expectations of British Educational Assistance

Britain 
is an exporter of education. It is committed to helping poor developing 
countries improve the backward education situation. It has achieved remarkable 
results in infrastructure construction, material supply and personnel training. 
At present, the development of education aid in Britain has entered a new 
five-year planning period, and the direction of aid has changed accordingly. It 
has increased the support for girls’ education, improved the effectiveness of 
education aid funds, and strengthened the management mode of aid cooperation. 
Starting with the development of educational aid in Britain, this study analyzed 
the effectiveness and problems of educational aid, and prospected the 
development trend of educational aid in Britain from the aspects of aid 
quality, international cooperation, policy adjustment and girls’ education.


Introduction
Britain is a leader in international development assistance. After World War II, the focus of British government's assistance has shifted to helping poor developing countries, improving people's living environment and quality, and activating the internal driving force of economic development of recipient countries through funds allocation, material distribution and facilities construction. In this process, Britain's international aid system is becoming more and more perfect with remarkable achievements [1]. The United States Brookings Institution and the Center for Global Development Research published a joint assessment report, pointing out that "Britain is superior to other countries in terms of aid effectiveness, aid regulation and transparency", and has made great contributions to the well-being of the world's people, national interests, international strategic deployment and restructuring of the world pattern. In the long run, education assistance can train talents and reserve human capital for the recipient countries, which is the driving force for the recipient countries to get rid of poverty and sustainable development. Since 1997, British education assistance has focused on basic education, supporting the infrastructure construction of schools in recipient countries, strengthening teacher training, paying attention to children's schooling at the basic education stage, and paying attention to the quality and effectiveness of education assistance [2]. By 2015, the UK had exceeded its commitment to international education assistance and had excelled in terms of the number of aid recipients, infrastructure facilities and ways of cooperation.
Since then, the United Kingdom has ushered in a new five-year aid plan and taken new measures aimed at consolidating existing achievements, adjusting the direction of aid and improving aid effectiveness [3].

Effectiveness of British Educational Assistance
Educational aid is one of the priorities of British aid. By the end of 2012, Britain had provided education assistance to 149 developing countries in the world. For poor developing countries, financial support and infrastructure improvement can only alleviate the superficial "symptoms" of the weakness of the recipient countries, and the key to solve the "crux" lies in the investment in education, the training of teachers and the accumulation of talents [4]. In recent years, with the trend of international aid, the focus of British education assistance has changed from higher education and continuing education to basic education, and at the same time, the emphasis on early childhood education has been increased.

Effectiveness of the Implementation of the Millennium Development Goals
In education assistance, the British government will focus on basic education, care for children's growth and girls' education, pay attention to students' enrolment rate and quality of education, and attach importance to the role of the new that they can enter the classroom, but also to let them accept good teaching, but also learning to change their lives, to get more opportunities [5].

Fulfilling the Commitment of Educational Assistance
In 2011, the British Aid: Changing Life and Successful was issued to guide the development of British educational aid and to make commitments in terms of students' schooling, aid cooperation, teacher training and infrastructure construction. After five years of aid development, the international performance of British education assistance not only over fulfilled its task, promoted the education development of recipient countries and children, but also introduced new teaching technology, provided electronic education resources and expanded the audience of education assistance.
In order to help more young people get close to education, get education and fulfill the UK's educational aid commitments, the UK government has intro-

Millennium Development Goals Have Not Been Fully Achieved
Over the past 10 years, due to the impact of the Millennium Development Goals, ceived education for more than four years", but they still fail to complete their studies and still do not read, write and arithmetic. The purpose of assistance is not only to ensure that they enter the classroom, but also to enable them to receive good teaching, and to change their lives through learning, so as to obtain more opportunities.

Inefficient Use of Educational Aid Funds
The  In assessing assistance projects, it was found that girls' assistance should take into account not only marginalization, but also the actual situation or the impact of the political environment. For example, the Girls' Education Challenge project in Kenya is an online learning assistance project, which mainly provides electronic media for marginalized girls to help them learn through the media.

Ignoring the Educational Problems of Marginalized Girls
However, due to geographical conditions, it is greatly limited, because there are places where electricity cannot be supplied and electronic media cannot be introduced. In fact, there are still many such failed projects, which can neither achieve the pre-set goals nor benefit recipient countries. In addition, in 2015, the UK Department for International Development released an assessment of the implementation of the Girls' Education Challenge project. The evaluation found that the participation, learning and sustainability of the UK Girls Education Challenge project in the implementation process were not good, and the interventions formulated could not meet the training requirements of girls, nor could they meet the expected language and mathematics standards [7].

Conclusions
Over the past few decades, British educational aid has achieved remarkable results. The British government has made continuous efforts to increase aid funds,  newed commitment to international aid will make more people wait and see.
The new strategic initiatives will focus on the three core concepts of equality, priority and humanism, pursue equality of opportunity for all, give priority to the development of disadvantaged groups, and let everyone receive education, ensure the quality of education, and strive to realize personal values.
