On June 16, 2010, AED and AGE Africa brought together some of the world’s leading experts for a meaningful dialogue about the most innovative best practices, policies and research surrounding the critical issue of secondary school and post-secondary transitions for girls in developing countries.
We asked panelists to engage the varied and complex dimensions of this issue, striving to address questions such as:
How do broken post-secondary linkages affect the development of social capital, democratic governance and economic growth?
What have we learned about how to design effective programs supporting girls’ secondary education in developing countries?
What are the most innovative programs for creating successful post-secondary transitions for adolescent girls?
Where are the critical gaps in research and who is filling them? Download Event Program to learn more!
