At a time when girls’ rights face growing threats around the world, I am so encouraged to see this progress in Colombia. Congratulations to all the activists and legislators who fought to pass this bill. This is a major step forward for girls 💪🏽

"I used to think a quiet classroom meant the teacher had good classroom management. Now, when I observe a quiet classroom, I wonder about language development. And I wonder about multilingual learners."
