🌟👏 congratulations @risingacademies

[Paul Skidmore @pjskids]

Really proud of the @risingacademies students, teachers, school leaders and support staff on an amazing set of results in the #SierraLeone National Primary School Exams: not just a 100% pass rate, but an average score that placed Rising fifth out of all the schools in the country

[Kirsten Bound @KirBou]

The US decision today feels like a slap in the face. Chilling to think how this will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable women. A wake up call to never take my rights for granted. And a reminder not to just leave it to other brave people to fight for them.

NEWS KLAXON: @risingacademies has officially entered Ghana, our third country. And rather than starting from scratch we’re doing something we’ve never done before: taking on an existing network of schools. 1/n

On Tuesday @yigitaksakoglu is likely to be sentenced to life in prison for committing no crime. Yigit officiated my wedding; he is a friend and brother. He deserves this no more than you reading this note. Beautiful NYT profile here: https://t.co/e9d1CEjOI2. #yigitisnotalone 1/
