Here we go. 1st intl work trip since Feb 2020.

I know I will not do that again soon, if ever. Let’s see if we can spread the message without as many airplane trips!

This🧵is about a tricky problem in education
The problem: despite growing global wealth and technological progress, there are extremely poor parts of the world where most children grow up illiterate and innumerate
