We hosted a Nigerian government delegation in Ghana for a learning exchange on Out‑of‑School Children programming. 🇬🇭🤝🇳🇬 In the North, the team visited learning centres, schools and District Education offices, meeting learners, teachers and community facilitators bringing these programmes to life. Seeing the impact firsthand sparked meaningful conversations about what works and how we can continue supporting children back into learning. #LeaveNoOneBehind

🌍📚 The International Day of Education reminds us that learning starts with strong foundations. When children master basic literacy and numeracy early on, they’re better equipped to stay in school and shape their futures with confidence. 💡 Evidence from the @WWHGlobalEd shows that achieving universal foundational learning could add $196 trillion to global GDP over the next 20 years: wwhge.org/resources/achi… 📌 Look out for our 2025 Education Compass report – Pathways to Improving Foundational Learning in Botswana, coming soon! #InternationalDayofEducation #FoundationalLearning #YouthImpact

Every child deserves more than a seat in school; they deserve learning that lasts. Over nearly two decades, LEAPS followed the same children from primary school into adulthood. The findings bring real reasons for hope. #LearnToEarn @aikhwaja, @AndrabiTahir, @WWHGlobalEd

☀️Foundational learning equips youth to co-create their own education & shape the future. For the International Day of Education on 24 Jan, read our blog exploring how universal foundational learning can unlock young people's potential. #IDE2026 ➡️ Read: buff.ly/tyg0YRT

@WWHGlobalEd @gatesfoundation The insight note makes the choice clear for governments: put core literacy and numeracy at the center of education plans and budgets, and the payoff is huge for young people, economies, and societies. Read more: wwhge.org/resources/achi…

This #IDE2026, a new insight note from Mettalytics, @WWHGlobalEd & @GatesFoundation shows what’s at stake: if 90% of children could read by age 10, universal #FoundationalLearning could add an estimated $196T to global GDP between 2031–2050. That’s trillions, not billions.
