The Catalyze Edufinance activity in South Africa is a total win/win. With access to affordable quality early childhood education and childcare, women's labor force participation globally would increase 40% and more kids would start school ready to thrive! usaid.gov/stories/care-e…

A safe school is the basis for a quality education. GPE's Jo Bourne, @susannahhares of @CGDev, @JSHerbertson, @RobertG_Jenkins of @UNICEFEducation, @leannajoon of @USAIDEducation and Dipak Naker explain how to #EndCorporalPunishment g.pe/FazK50RrfkU

@wmata first one S2 bus sped by and the one right behind it hit a car and had to off load all of the passengers. #roadsafety We need reliable safe public transport.

@wmata tell your bus drivers to slow down! Half full S2 bus driving so fast passed the stop at 16th and S Streets NW at 7:41am without slowing down or noticing there were passengers waiting. #RoadSafety

Thrilled to hear @PowerUSAID declare @ #USAIDGEC that fighting #lead is now a top @USAID priority. Killing more people annually than HIV & malaria combined, #poisoning could explain 20% of kids' learning gap in LMICs. @leannajoon @BasicEdtweets usaid.gov/news-informati…

📚 It is imperative to continue investing in foundational learning skills and strengthening partnerships at all levels if we want to #EndLearningPoverty! 📷Luis Benveniste @SteGiannini @RobertG_Jenkins Madalitso Kambauwa Wirima @leannajoon @JSHerbertson Jo Bourne @benlpiper

Kudos to US Senators Cardin, Duckworth, Merkley, Booker and Van Hollen who introduced a resolution to tackle toxic lead exposure on Thursday. foreign.senate.gov/press/dem/rele…

"In the fight against global lead poisoning, President Biden can...increase the world's faith in American leadership in a period when it is being tested. It is high time that the US lead the effort to find and defeat this silent killer." thehill.com/opinion/health…

#EducationDay is tomorrow! Check our new blog where Luis Benveniste, Jo Bourne, @benlpiper, @stegiannini, @AliciaH_1, @RobertG_Jenkins and I emphasize foundational learning & social-emotional skills in Africa. #EndLearningPovert @USAIDEducation wrld.bg/rtX350QtFpW

Lead poisoning kills more people each year in low- and middle-income countries than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. What can be done? Today at 3:00 p.m. CET/9:00 a.m. EST) USAID's Administrator Power will lead a conversation. livestream info here: usaid.link/fjx

@wmata another total fail. The E2 never showed up at Fort Totten metro at 3:06. No E2 in service!

@wmata once again the S2 passed the bus stop at 12th and Constitution without opening the doors for passengers. Unacceptable! Especially when the redline is closed. Tell your drivers to wait even when other buses are at the stop!

Take off for the @GPforEducation Board Meeting to discuss how scaling and learning outcomes really take off ensuring access for the most marginalized, including refugees, and mitigating the impacts of lead poisoning on learning outcomes. #endlearningpoverty @USAIDEducation @CGDev

No desks in these Malawi classrooms. But there were dynamic teachers and children learning reading and numeracy! Shout out to the Minister of Education and her team for their dedication to improve foundational skills! @USAIDEducation @benlpiper @RobertG_Jenkins @USAIDMalawi
