One inspiring teacher can have a transformative, positive and lifelong impact on a child. But inspiring teachers need a supportive #education system behind them - one that engages and empowers them. That is why teachers are at the heart of all our programming. Our latest learning brief from the Girls' Education Challenge programme, 'Teachers: The change-makers at the heart of girls' education', provides evidence of teachers' positive influence on children's lives, bringing renewed hope and optimism. It is a shout-out to all the hard working, life changing and amazing teachers out there. Read the full learning brief 👇 https://mottm.ac/3BMYLj6

To celebrate #InternationalDayoftheGirl2024, Alicia Mills education adviser shares why girls need a bigger say in how education systems support their needs and aspirations. Lessons learned from our #GirlsEducation programmes in #SouthSudan, #Ethiopia and #Pakistan show how targeted interventions and #education reforms can improve girls’ school attendance, motivation for learning, self-confidence and agency. Find out more about how we are engaging and inspiring girls 👇 https://mottm.ac/3Nm5mnq #IDG2024

We ensure that governments, schools and teachers have the tools to improve #learning outcomes. The #UKAid funded Leh Wi Lan (Let’s Learn) programme has played an important role in improving the safety of girls in schools across #SierraLeone since 2016. We have helped to strengthen the capacity of the country’s education system at national, district and school levels so that government policies are put into practice. Read how Leh Wi Lan and the Ministry of Education's efforts have improved the quality, safety, accessibility and equity of the education system, doubling enrolment in secondary schools for girls 👇 https://mottm.ac/4euhHlH #SystemsStrengthening British Expertise International

Akuja Mading de Garang MBE, technical leader for our #GirlsEducationSouthSudan programme, recently participated in a panel discussion at USAID's Global Education Conference. She spoke about how GESS used the Washington Group Questions in the school enrolment data and education census to provide the first nationwide data on children with disabilities in South Sudan. This has been a powerful tool for advocacy, identifying more than 20,500 learners with disabilities in mainstream schools who need continued support to complete their education. Akuja was joined by Ben Lou Poggo, Director General for Inclusive Education at the National Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MoGEI); Kudzani Ndlovu, GESS Behaviour Change Communication Lead and Richard Adzei, USAID South Sudan Education and Youth Office Director. The South Sudan government is a key partner for GESS and Ben Lou Poggo explained how this evidence-based approach is supporting policies and a commitment from the National Treasury to ringfence at least 5% of the national education budget for disability inclusion.

In 2023, around 250 million children and young people were out of school. For many, formal education is not a feasible option due to the limited capacity of some governments to reach underserved areas, particularly in contexts of emergency and protracted crises, and remote and rural communities. Community-based education generally takes place outside of traditional classroom settings and is run and overseen by local community members, community-based organisations or non-governmental organisations (NGOs). It has shown to be an effective way to reach the most marginalised children, especially girls. This learning brief from Girls' Education Challenge explains more 👉 https://mottm.ac/3VBnRJQ

Our USAID funded Play to Learn project aims to increase access to high-quality, equitable, safe, and inclusive #EarlyChildhoodEducation services for children in Djibouti with a special focus on the most marginalised children. Earlier this month, the project’s #BehaviourChangeCommunication activities were launched by the US Embassy in Djibouti, alongside Djibouti's Ministries of Education and Training (MENFOP) and Women's Empowerment and Family (MFF). Radio features and community outreach programmes targeted at parents and guardians will highlight the important of preschool education and learning through play and the positive impact it can have on #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment. #ECD #PlayToLearn #ECE Photo credit: USAID Djibouti
