.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
Astounding estimates on the impact of #COVID19 on #education from @WorldBank
5 months of school shutdown globally = $10 trillion in learning losses.
16% of government investments in this cohort of students' basic education could be lost.

When you think of
@benandjerrys
, you may think ice cream. 🍨
When we think of Ben and Jerry, we think amazing refugee advocates. 💙
At the #RefugeeForum, they launched a new flavor: Cone Together, dedicated to the refugee cause. 😲
Maybe they're both. ❤️
This is the harsh reality of refugee children in 2019 -- in Europe of all places. I hope governments at the #RefugeesForum take REAL action to improve the lives of refugees around the world. We need more than vague promises. #WritetheWrong@BBC https://t.co/0MU0MXgOrE

#Teacher quality is the most important school-level determinant of learning outcomes, but teachers need more support. Great to see the #EducationWorkforce report launched in Asia by @AmyFCBellinger and Commissioners @JuHoLeeEd, @itacec1, & @kristinclemet. https://t.co/fg7dTub0qy
