Douglas Alexander is the Secretary of State for International Development. We have assessed his performance and while he is making progress, we think he needs to more to make sure that girls around the world finish school. Read his report below and send him an email! Dear Mr Alexander, I have read your Because I am a Girl school report and I know you have worked very hard to change the future for girls worldwide. However, there is still room for improvement. Overall to rank top of the class you should: - Make sure the Government’s new education paper makes adequate provision for girls, including those in countries affected by war, to have the same access as boys to post-primary education. - Encourage other countries to commit to tackling the barriers that prevent girls from accessing primary education. - Make public all the relevant statistics, including secondary school enrolment figures, broken down by sex and age. We know you have great potential. Please do even better!
