A very emotional long voice message from one of my previous students from Ghor Province, Afghanistan today:

“I feel like the world is moving forward, but I am stuck somewhere in Afghanistan, unable to do anything. This all feels like a dream.”

Somewhere in Afghanistan tonight, one of millions of girls is sitting hopeless, helpless, and shattered!
Girls in Afghanistan are grieving, they are mourning the future they once believed they would have.

This afternoon I began my engagements at the @TheEWF , the largest gathering of Education Ministers in the world.

I participated in the Cambridge University Ministerial Dialogue on “The Leadership Effect: Forging Talent for Africa’s Growth”.

I shared South Africa’s focus on building Strong Foundations for Strong Futures to unlock opportunity, skills and prosperity for every child. 🇿🇦📚

Today, on World Book and Copyright Day, we celebrate the power of books to connect generations, cultures and widen one’s imagination.

Reading is the foundation of all learning. When we strengthen literacy from the earliest years, we give children the tools to think critically, imagine boldly and succeed in school and in life.

Books open minds, widen horizons and unlock possibility.

That is why building a nation of readers must start early, and it must involve all of us; parents, caregivers, teachers and communities alike.

Let us continue to place books in the hands of children and nurture a love of reading, one book, one child and one story at a time. #WorldBookandCopyrightDay

This week, world leaders are in Washington to talk finance and international development.

We have one message for them: Work together to fund education.

Join MPs around the world calling for international cooperation for education: https://t.co/lAUUcUCwx9 #SpringMeetings #IMF

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

Fewer than 5 years remain to reach 2030. Yet 273 million children and youth are still out of school.

Time is running out. But the idea that progress is not possible no longer holds.

Across the world, countries are already showing that access can expand at scale, when equity is prioritized and policies are sustained over time.

Their stories remind us: progress only counts if it reaches those still left behind.

Because every education story matters.

#YourStoryCounts. Join @EliudKipchoge, @pledis_17 #SEVENTEEN and Claire Danes in sharing yours!
