Education is critical to help girls stay in school and out of marriage.
The longer a girl stays in school, the less likely she is to be married before turning 18 and have children during her teenage years.

Learning to #Read is a complex, multi-stage process which requires many elements that go hand-in-hand. Unfortunately, the pandemic has disrupted many of these. The GBA has looked into early data on loss of #Reading skill during #COVID-19. #CloseTheBookGap globalbookalliance.org/news-…

In many countries, students are taught in a language other than their mother tongue, which compromises their ability to learn effectively.
On Sunday's #MotherLanguageDay, join @UNESCO in calling for mother tongue-based education: en.unesco.org/commemorations…
