This is a candidate for my favourite tweet ever . . .

Third, looking beyond averages, some orgs posted null results, or stark trade-offs between test scores and other goals. But others like @streetchilduk posted uniformly positive results without major unintended consequences, and adhered to the $50/pupil target. 12/



An egregious error has been righted

Only UNRWA can deliver aid at the scale desperately needed in Gaza. That's why the UK is lifting the pause on UNRWA funding with immediate effect. Today I met @UNLazzarini to discuss this lifesaving decision and offer condolences for the 197 UNRWA staff who have been killed.

267 is an insane score, just saying!


So important. Thanks very much for organising this -

Reports in early December show that 352 school buildings in #Gaza have sustained damages - representing over 71% of all schools. Our national coordinator will be speaking on the dire situation for children's education. 📅 20 Dec, 12pm UTC 💻 Register: rescue.zoom.us/webinar/regist…



Not going to lie, this is an exciting moment for @streetchilduk ... but the best part of today so far for sure: Ipswich 2 Norwich 2, keeping that @canaries unbeaten run in El Tractico since 2009 ..!

Lots of wonderful charities being supported via UK newspaper Christmas appeals this year, as ever. But apparently/so far, only one working internationally. Lucky it is a good one ..! @streetchilduk @thetimes fundraising.co.uk/2023/12/11/new…


Thank you very much @A_Loyd_Times for telling the story of Alima, and of some of her colleagues from the streets of Makeni 15 years ago, so vividly & movingly - and, as you note, by extension also telling some of the early story of @streetchilduk & @street_leone !

Back in Sierra Leone, with so many memories, helping to put some shoulder to the wonderful work of Street Child ⁦@streetchilduk⁩ and their charity appeal. thetimes.co.uk/article/street…



Thanks very much @KayBurley & @SkyNews for having me on this morning - to talk about how @streetchilduk have made a difference to the safety & education of 1m children worldwide since 2018 ... And how with everyone’s help, we are committed to supporting millions more!

"We know that without education life's opportunities are incredibly narrow, but if you get even a basic education everything is possible." Our CEO @TomDannatt spoke with @SkyNews today about our work supporting marginalised children everywhere. Watch👇🏾 youtu.be/xVQ5yKPLqjk?si…
