Since I was appointed as the new UK Envoy for Girls’ Education, I’ve been getting up to speed on the latest policy and ideas.
I’ll be sharing a #THREAD of what I’m reading, watching or listening to. I’d love to hear some of your suggestions too.

Later this year the UK will co-host the @GPforEducation Summit with Kenya.

And it’s not just education experts who want to see more profile and priority for girls’ education. This piece from @TheEconomist last month shows that when we invest in girls, everyone benefits. But worryingly, #COVID19 is putting that in jeopardy: https://econ.st/363uM3V
Most importantly, in this job, I’m going to be listening to girls and young women from all around the world.
