I didn’t like awards until I started getting them…
This year’s Excellence in Teaching award granted to me by @Kennedy_School at a time when Harvard is under attack brings special joy to me. Thank you to all my students and fabulous teaching team—Stephanie, Gustavo, and Isaac.

[Rachel Glennerster @rglenner]

Come work for me @CGDev on education evidence! This is a relatively senior role and you will be working directly with me and leading others to take the evidence from the literature and turn into policy recommendations. Great analysis and writing skills needed

[Davina Osei @DaveOsei]

@NorvanReports I think one of the issues in Ghana on policy is moving from ideation ( for the policy ideas which are good) to good design and implementation. Sometimes politicisation causes us to throw away both the baby and the dirty water. Hope we can move from such winner takes all approach

Our insane greed for gold, polluting all our water bodies in that pursuit, will lead to nothing but more poverty & exploitation of the masses. Soon, WATER will be the new gold & the poor will be the worst off paying top dollar just to have a sip!! #StopGalamoseyNow #StopGalamsey

Last week @StatsGhana organised workshops across Ghana’s 16 regions to share the results of district MPI reports (based on the 2021 census) with leaders of local government & key stakeholders. Find more information below.

Ghana’s FreeSHS has positive impacts! Our recent study (Alicia @victorosei @RCVincent) found a 14% increase in the number of girls completing SHS because of #FreeSHS
