A must read.

“Accountability cannot function credibly if its intensity appears to selectively change according to the person being held accountable.”

[Hardeep Matharu @Hardeep_Matharu]

The story of Jason Arday is the story of James Orr

Of the ideology that has found a foothold in institutions like Cambridge, fostering the sorts of ideas that formed the undercurrents against Arday

I returned to my alma mater for an in-depth exploration: https://t.co/goQ2yHI6l0

The Ministry of Gender, Culture and Children Services is strengthening Kenya’s coordinated childcare system for children aged 0–4 through action at national and county levels.

On the margins of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the Ministry will convene a Pan-African High-Level Dialogue to bring together National Govt , County Govt , childcare implementation organisations, development partners and funders to discuss the vision for quality childcare in Kenya and the importance of coordinated action within a devolved system.

I look forward to discussing our reform priorities.

This week, 🇰🇪 celebrates 62 years of Independence. Yet today there's a quiet battle for Kenya's seed sovereignty. For one year, @Cynthia_Gichiri @AfUncensored has been looking into this urgent issue. This Wednesday on our Youtube Channel, watch #SeedSyndicate - the battle to control what farmers can plant

Give “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” all the awards! All of them. Could write a whole thesis on it. Wow 🤯

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.”

🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable.

🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too.

🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs.

Truly inspiring: The Bandebereho model - a fatherhood and couple’s intervention - in Rwanda has shown sustained positive outcomes even after 6 years! More men are actively engaged in household tasks and childcare. The government is now exploring national scale-up!#ScalingCare2025

📊 #CareQuiz Answer:

✅ C) 50%

In 18 months, 20% of caregivers in Nairobi moved/closed — 30% new ones appeared.

That’s why @TinyTotos uses real-time, adaptive mapping.

Policymakers significantly over-estimate foundational learning levels in their country (they underestimate the scale of the problem). They guess that on average 47 percent of 10 year olds in their country can read, compared with World Bank Learning Poverty data ( based on actual assessments) of just 23 percent.
Foundational skills may thus be under-prioritized in part because policymakers do not realize the magnitude of the crisis in their countries. This is one of the many interesting results in this paper by @leecrawfurd @AnaMinardi1 @JustinSandefur & @susannahhares

🌳Karura Forest was nearly destroyed once, and it was not the government or @KeForestService that saved it. It was the PEOPLE. 🌳
So why should anyone else decide its future? The community through @karurafriends must be involved in its protection. #SaveKarura #HandsOffKarura

As someone that has been quite apprehensive about the use of AI in education. This is an insightful and thoughtful case for AI; and the opportunities it presents to improve education outcomes in LMICs.
