Join the #BorntoLearn campaign

The Spotlight Report on foundational literacy and numeracy in Africa was launched on October 20th, 2022 before education Ministers from across the continent at the ADEA Triennale.

Join our campaign by preparing a photo of yourself signing up for learning by spelling out the letter 'L' with your thumb and forefinger.  If you want to put it into a campaign template, use this link, uploading your photo on the left hand menu and pulling it into the card. Or you can post your photo as it is. 

Send out your photo on your online channels using #BorntoLearn to help amplify the noise around the need to put learning at the top of the agenda. 

You can draw from one of these tweets if you would like:
