Harvard's Shannon May - Bridges International was educator of yera at Beijing Wise conference 2016 but jury out recently on infrastructure sustainability of bridge schools

 Abed was world's first global education laureate -wise 2012 (go figure why it took to 2012 to vale education!)

One of Fazle Abed's biggest lessons - if i can we at brac will maintain up to 40000 one-room primry schools (largest non gov ed system) but only as benchmarks for government to continously improve on - only the gov has democracy's taxe needed to sustain investments in nation wide infarstructure but every community bhas an imperative to demonstarte how joyful schooling that wholly values girls and boys livelihoods can nbe

10/84 all those inspired by rachel's worldpossible collation of competely open digital learning resources and catalogue oif which nation's education system encourafe etachers and students to access the worfld's best elarning content

9-84 BR0 still to be understood- while american elearning gravitates around world possible- in china it gravitates round ai teachers assistants - instead of toys like alexa or hey google, anything that is a disciplainary fact can now be stired in a learnking robot- giving teachers and students time to teamwork and do other things than program a mind with sterile facts

8-84 new universities - these are ones that never put sustainability generation students in debt but expect thise who go on to chnage the world to pay it firward (or is it backward) -

In your monthly Bridge digest: US think tank shares our case study as a model for Africa Bridge teacher guides are discussed in Education Next  The importance of measuring quality: A response to the SDG Atlas Foreign Policy Association publishes our view on the human right to education We celebrate children overcoming disabilities in our schools Meet our amazing teacher Olayinka from Nigeria Liberia's story reaches major US think tank  HumanProgress, the magazine of the Cato Institute, has published a story by Bridge's Marcus Wleh in Liberia. Marcus summaries the global education situation and looks at how his country is an example of how to transform education systems to quickly improve learning outcomes for children.                          Read the article on HumanProgress.org Education Next looks at teacher guides The Bridge academic team has been writing about the merits of pre-prepared, detailed lesson plans for teachers.  The Harvard University-affiliated magazine Education Next publishes a piece that helps to shed light on the benefits of the model within the context of developing economies. The author considers her own journey from being against structured guidance to becoming a strong advocate and the evidence that has changed her mind. She says, "after more than a decade of teaching middle schoolers, training teachers, and designing lessons for schools all over the world, I’ve changed my tune." Read the full article on Education Next Quality as the yardstick for progress Bridge VP of Measurement and Evaluation, Dr Steven Cantrell, has been sharing his thoughts about the need for the quality of education to be effectively measured and invested in. He points out that sometimes this is overlooked and the consequences are significant. One of his most stark messages is 'Primary school attendance is not the problem.' The well respected Impakter magazine published his article to highlight one of the most important issues in the global education debate. Dr Cantrell's piece is a response to the World Bank’s recently released Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals.  Read the full story on Impakter magazine Education is a right so let's deliver it We take a closer look at the international legal issues surrounding global education and UN Human Rights. Bridge puts forward the argument for non-state actors to help achieve education for all on the basis that rights must be delivered urgently. It is now 70 years since the right to education was made universal and the fact that hundreds of millions are still not learning shows that fresh approaches are needed. We make a nuanced case that "It is only through embracing new, innovative, scalable and sustainable models" that universal free quality education for all can be achieved.  Read the full opinion piece on the Foreign Policy blog Say hello to Olayinka from Nigeria Olayinka is one of our passionate and powerful teachers from Bridge, Femi Omomowo in Igando, Lagos State, south-west Nigeria. She says that she saw Bridge was different, so she joined. She would watch the pupils and teachers at the gate and think how motivated and happy they looked to be going to school. That was two years ago when she decided to join us. Discover why she believes joining Bridge was the best choice she ever made, and find out why she feels proud when she's leading a class.  Read more about her full story here Celebrating the achievements of disabled children Bridge has marked the Global Disability Summit by championing the hard work and talent of Bridge pupils in Africa and India. We published five inspirational accounts of young people who are fearlessly pursuing their dreams and ambitions despite the extra challenges.  Around the world there are at least 150 million children living with disabilities and they are ten times less likely to go to school. The way Bridge serves disabled children has been reported on Front Page Africa, The Standard and the Nile Post among others. How Bridge supports disabled children to learn News in Brief The Ugandan Government is preparing lessons for children, at primary and secondary levels, to access via a tablet which will enable 'performance tracking by schools and parents.'  President Weah of Liberia has been talking about the important role of the private sector, including in education, during a recent speech. Students across Liberia have been celebrating the end of their academic year, and in Bridge schools it's been particularly jubilant. Christine Apiot, Director of Academics for Bridge Uganda, has been writing about the importance of an inclusive education for those with disabilities. Jackie Walumbe, from our Kenya team, has been writing about the teaching profession across the developing world, describing teachers as 'the organs that power learning.' A Kenyan TV news program has been reporting on a Bridge student who despite being physically disabled, still gets a high-quality education. Bridge staff in Monrovia have been sharing the story of their government's success with a summary of how Bridge is lifting up the quality of state teachers across the country.
