SHARE World leaders were on Wednesday urged to encourage millions of girls into education to help transform their lives and boost national economies. With 100 days until the UK and Kenya host the Global Education Summit, the two nations reminded people of the event’s bold ambitions. Britain’s foreign office and Prime Minister Boris Johnson championed the education of girls as the key to preventing exploitation and unlocking their potential. “In the next five years, the UK wants to see 40 million more girls in school and 20 million more girls reading by the time they are 10,” the foreign office said in a tweet on Wednesday.
