UK Allocates One Million Pounds for Period Education
The UK government has allocated one million pounds for period education in schools. This funding equates to less than 300 pounds for every state secondary school in England. The investment is expected to provide approximately two hours of workshops per school per year. Critics suggest the amount is insufficient to make a fundamental difference.
