Local communities and leaders in Madhesh Pradesh understand the importance of investing in educating girls. Their hands on support has been key to the success of 🇬🇧 Marginalized No More programme to improve #girlseducation in #Nepal’s Musahar community.

[Myra M. Khan | مائرہ خان @myrakhan]

I get deeply frustrated when researchers make assumptions that parents are completely unaware of returns to education. Parents and communities know. There are many other factors that prevent them sending their kids to school. They think about long-term vs immediate pay offs.

[Myra M. Khan | مائرہ خان @myrakhan]

It reeks to me as classist in some way when we assume that parents "just don't know better", as if, because they are possibly uneducated themselves, they can't be smart enough to see returns to education. They do, they can.

[Myra M. Khan | مائرہ خان @myrakhan]

In fact, I think they understand what they think is possible in their lives better than researchers do. But we always, continually work with our classist frameworks and only ask questions the way *we* think.

Another day, another attack on learners in Afghanistan.

[TOLOnews @TOLOnews]

TOLOnews reporter Anisa Shaheed says some families are still waiting outside Kabul University to know about their loved ones who have been affected in today's attack.

[Ramya Madhavan @ramyamadhavan13]

Devastating attacks on educational institutions in Afghanistan and Cameroon. Schools must be spaces on safety and stability for children. ⁦@streetchilduk⁩ https://t.co/SsNmszLkP9

[Justin Sandefur @JustinSandefur]

The narrative of "development impact" in our industry is so geared toward a specific, very idiosyncratic model of policy formation: foreign researchers and NGOs "innovate" and poor governments "take up" their successful ideas.

Deviating from that script almost feels impolite.

Looking forward to working through this exciting contribution! 🙌🏽

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

First they said they needed data
about the children
to find out what they’re learning.
Then they said they needed data
about the children
to make sure they are learning.
Then the children only learnt
what could be turned into data.
Then the children became data.
