From the article: 

The Centre for Global Development, based in the UK and US, published analysis estimating UK aid to education would be cut by 40%.

Analysis co-author, Pauline Rose, professor of international education at the University of Cambridge, called for greater additional funding for education, rather than making more commitments from shrinking aid budgets.

“If this does not happen, programmes that the UK directly supports, and which are successfully reaching the most disadvantaged girls, will be at risk, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the young people who depend on them,” said Prof Rose.
