There’s an African proverb: “We desire to bequeath two things to our children; the first one is roots, the other is wings.” Watch this short video of the IMF's Rasmane Ouedraogo discussing new research on social mobility in Africa: bit.ly/3ktsthv

The acceleration of #DigitalTransformation has enabled a ‘new normal’ for education that transcends geography. Today’s governments are rethinking the education system to accommodate the growing population and bridge the digital divide #WorldGovSummit #Education


"Stimulus is not an answer to inflation, no matter where it ends up. Moreover, businesses struggling to find the staff or pay their bills are less likely to pass on a VAT windfall than they would during times of low demand" @Gilesyb for @instituteforgov instituteforgovernment.org.uk/blog/treasury-…


"the shadow of the pandemic continues to affect many small businesses in the area. While they have managed to bounce back quickly, they had to borrow to keep going during the crisis." ft.com/content/b786a2…

At G7, we helped secure a hugely important commitment from all G7 states to make sure their AID becomes overall nature-positive. Aid globally amounts to $140bn, so this really is a significant win for nature.

Much more to do but some important commitments secured at the @G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministerial in Berlin. Bottom line- we need to deliver a Paris Moment for nature this year



The outcome of the Qatari head of state's visit to London: £10 billion to be invested in the UK over the next five years –– a whopping win for post-Brexit trade and foreign relations.

From @PennyMordaunt: They said a US trade deal couldn’t be done. It can. We are doing it. bit.ly/38oQmnP


"You don’t create a system that people feel is fair and equitable by in some way thinking that there is an easy fix. The best thing you can do is create schools in the state system that are as good as independent schools" –– @nadhimzahawi thetimes.co.uk/article/57a663…

Tony Blair has called for seven out of 10 teenagers to go on to higher education. Tory MP and Education Select Committee Chair Robert Halfon: "Instead of university, university, university it should be skills, skills, skills." @JuliaHB1 | @halfon4harlowMP


The Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan @masrour_barzani is in London –– a timely visit in light of the debate on Europe's continued dependence on Russian gas. Kurdistan's gas reserves makes it a energy hub that can potentially diversify & secure Europe's energy supplies.

This is really great to hear from @alexburghart @educationgovuk - Skills, Skills, Skills not just University, University, University 👇

A minister (for the first time?) welcomes the idea that fewer people might go to university in 10 years. As a former university lecturer (Kings College London + Leicester), @alexburghart, skills minister, knows some undergraduates would be better served doing an apprenticeship.
