Delighted myself and the team were able to orchestrate this important meeting between GPE chair @GPEChair and @NAkufoAddo to discuss education financing keeping domestic finance high on the political agenda.

Excellent work, Team! 🇿🇦😊

We welcome the acknowledgment by the leaders of India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) on the work underway to establish the Heads of State Network for Quality Foundational Learning.

This affirms of our decision as the 7th administration to strategically reorient the basic education system to strengthen the foundations of learning.

The global south has incredible potential for economic productivity due to our youthful population but we must give young people a strong start in life for them to build the literacy and numeracy skills to pursue any career they desire.

🌍 Happy #AfricaDay25!

Powerful reflections from Minister Dr. Jarso M. 🇱🇷 & Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili 🇳🇬:

📚 Foundational learning (FL) is a must — not just a right, but an economic necessity
🏗️ As vital as roads, power & clean water
💡 FL is pragmatic, not just moral.

[Learning Changes Everything @FLN_Matters]

📚 Investing in foundational learning isn't just ethical—it's economically strategic. Early literacy and numeracy skills drive individual success and national growth. Oped by @Dr_Jarso_Jallah & @obyezeks .

Your leadership, Hon. Minister @Siviwe_G, shows the new face of Africa—bold, committed to foundational learning. This is how we build a stronger continent: solid foundations, lasting impact. Let’s keep pushing forward. No letting up. #AfricaRising #EducationFirst

[Siviwe Gwarube @Siviwe_G]

This was one of my highlights - a side event at the #EWF25 hosted by the @UKParliament.

Hearing the continent’s resounding call for investment in foundational learning is incredibly encouraging.

#EWF25: ASEAN Ministerial Roundtable on Foundational Learning

Approximately 45% of 10-year-olds in Southeast Asia are unable to read and understand a simple text.

Despite key efforts by govs/partners and notable progress, urgent action is needed to #EndLearningPoverty!

[World Bank Education & Skills @WBG_Education]

✏️Education is a foundational infrastructure for job creation, and good jobs are the surest way out of poverty.

We are glad to participate in the Education World Forum #EWF25🇬🇧

The @WorldBank is committed to #InvestInPeople and build stronger, bolder, better education systems

Political leadership matters to get Africa’s kids reading and doing math by age 10. Thank you @DavidMaynier for Western Cape showing it’s possible to improve learning in the classroom @FLN_Matters @ADEAnet @HumanCapAfrica @funda_wande @benlpiper @GatesAfrica

[David Maynier @DavidMaynier]

Had a great visit to Nal’uxulo Primary School in Philippi with Minister @Siviwe_G, CEO Mark Suzman and Director Ben Piper of the @gatesfoundation to see how the @funda_wande programme improves reading and Maths literacy in our schools!

[Victoria Egbetayo @VicEgbe]

Thank you Ministers @Siviwe_G & @DavidMaynier for joining forces with @gatesfoundation showing it’s possible to get kids reading and doing math by age 10. The learning crisis is solvable in Africa!

Delighted to have been able to make visit happen.@FLN_Matters @funda_wande

[Siviwe Gwarube @Siviwe_G]

This morning I visited Na’luxolo Primary School with @davidmaynier and the @gatesfoundation to witness the @funda_wande programme in action.

Funda Wande develops structured pedagogy materials aimed at training teachers on how to teach reading and maths using an evidence based approach.

I also witnessed mother tongue based bilingual Education in action. International benchmarking tests show that our learners who learn in their mother tongue outperform those who do not.

I also learnt what a Warthog in IsiXhosa 🤭

Did you know?
Children who start their education in their mother tongue are 50% more likely to develop strong #foundationalliteracy and #numeracy skills. It’s not just about preserving culture—it’s about giving children the tools to thrive.

#IMLD25 #MotherLanguageDay2025

[Global Education Monitoring Report UNESCO @GEMReport]

Ahead of #MotherLanguageDay, new #GEMReport analysis shows that students who don’t speak the language of instruction at home are falling behind.

This gap persists in reading, maths & science, deepening inequalities.

[PAL Network @palnetworkHQ]

The role of language in foundational learning is clear.
Research shows that children learn best in languages they understand—yet only 37% of students in Sub-Saharan Africa have textbooks in their home language.
How can we close the gap? Read more: https://t.co/t90IfBrtQl
