The Education Emergency: two panels in London and Cambridge link up
Today in London and Cambridge, two panels made up of a diverse group of women were on stage to discuss the ‘Education Emergency’ facing girls in the UK and worldwide.

In Cambridge, Dame Barbara Stocking chaired a panel made up of Professor of International Education Pauline Rose, Malala Yousafzai’s former teacher Mariam Khalique, Zoah Hedges-Stocks from the Showman Traveller community and Lucy Lake with special guest Fatima Yakubu from Camfed.
They addressed the following fundamental questions:
- What difference does education make to lives worldwide?
- What are the impacts on women and girls of education being unavailable, inaccessible or actively denied?
- What policy options might be effective in securing the right to safe and quality education for all around the globe?
