What:
On November 8, the Center for Universal Education at Brookings (CUE) will host the 2017 Girls' Education Research and Policy Symposium: Reaching the Most Marginalized. Each year, CUE convenes policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders in the girls’ education arena to discuss the most pressing issues as identified by the Echidna Global Scholars, a group of global leaders in girls’ education who spend 5 months in-residency at Brookings. The day will be marked by a series of thematic conversations that explore approaches to ensuring that the most marginalized girls receive a quality education.
The panel discussions will include brief presentations from the Echidna Global Scholars’ research on girls’ education in their home countries of India, Kenya, Jamaica, and Mexico, followed by a moderated discussion with other experts in their thematic areas. Each session will end with a Q&A, leaving time for panelists to take questions from the audience.
A light reception will follow the event..
