The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) launched the Girls’ Education Challenge (GEC) in 2012 and since then has added a Phase II of the programme which covers the period 2017-2025.
Phase II focuses on 41 projects operating in 17 countries. The two expected outcomes overall are:
• Improved learning outcomes for marginalised girls; and
• Increased transition through key stages of education, training, or employment.
The Independent Evaluation of Phase II is the latest report from the GEC, launched this month.
It has a thematic focus on disability and looks at the ways GEC projects have supported girls with disabilities and the impact on these girls, their teachers, families and communities.

This recent Education Report from the National Autistic Society (UK) is full of examples that demonstrate the power that small adjustments can make to the lives of autistic children and young people. The report includes recommendations such as allowing students to use exit passes and fidget toys in class. Changes like these could be made tomorrow, and drastically change the experience of autistic pupils.

In 2015, world leaders enshrined their commitment to girls’ education in Sustainable Development Goal 4: Achieve universal quality education for all by 2030. Yet high-level pledges have too rarely translated into good policies and strong investment. The result: millions of girls shut out of classrooms, dropping out early or left behind in learning.
Malala Fund’s report cards are for advocates who want to understand the world’s slow progress on girls’ education—and demand action to remedy it.
Examine the current status of girls’ education in 120 low and middle income countries using official government data (SDG scores) on progress and assessment of policy frameworks (policy scores) against ones proven to help girls complete school and realise their ambitions.
Track donor countries’ progress on their commitments and prioritisation of girls’ education within their Overseas Development Assistance (donor score).
Girls can’t wait any longer to see their dreams become reality.

Co-hosted by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Uruguay and Ceibal Foundation, the global launch of the 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report on technology in education will take place in a hybrid format and will bring together ministers of education, experts, academics, representatives of civil organizations to reflect on the main findings and recommendations of the GEM Report 2023. This will be the first time in the history of the GEM Report that the global launch will take place in Latin America.
With the help of over 200 PEER country profiles on technology and education, the event focuses on the opportunities and challenges for the use of technology in education, and the conditions that need to be met for technology to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education.

Without the right early years support, children fall behind even before they have started school. The early years is when inequality sets in. Millions of the world’s children go without the quality care and early learning they require.
