More than one in three children report being victims of physical attacks in schools across sub-Saharan Africa.🌍

@DaveEvansPhD & @SusannahHares stress the impact of school violence on learning & urge prioritizing safety in the education sector ⬇

Analysis from @cgdev @leecrawfurd @susannahhares on what withdrawal from Afghanistan could mean for girls' education

[Ed Barnett @edwardabarnett]

Great to see Uganda make this important and much needed commitment on domestic financing for education. But we can only really celebrate when Governments deliver on their commitments to young people #RaiseYourHand

An insightful collection of viewpoints on how the education sector can get back on track with SDG4 by @GirinB @susannahhares @JustinSandefur and a host of expert contributors

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

Thoughtful but refreshingly direct, @GirinB calls out the collective failure to address poor learning outcomes in his recent essay on #SDG4.

In a roundtable w/ @CGDev @riseprogramme, sector leaders shared their reactions. Read the symposium of responses: https://t.co/YGEfTY2XwZ.
