Sept. was a month of bold advocacy, global engagement & action for SaLeone’s children. From the world stage @ #UNGA81 to classrooms & communities @ home, #MBSSE advanced foundational learning, inclusion, girls’ education & youth empowerment.

Walked into W.A.M Collegiate and found the building littered and walls chalked up. Told the principal: make it part of discipline defaulters pick litter, sweep, and scrub those walls. Clean school, better behavior
I made an unannounced visit to #Collegiate W.A.M Secondary School to observe 354 #BECE candidates sitting the Home Economics paper across 8 classrooms, reaffirming my firm stand against exam malpractice and commitment to fair, credible exams.
Ahead of the #YoungAfricaWorks Summit in #Kigali, Ministers Conrad Sackey and Dr. Haja Ramatulai Wurie met with @Mastercard Foundation leadership today in #Freetown to discuss #youth prospects, the future of work, and the evolving job market.
Off to Kigali for the #YoungAfricaWorks Summit, alongside Min. Haja Ramatulai Wurie. Together we’re representing Sierra Leone in conversations on building dignified work pathways for our young people.
30+ applications. 16 countries. 6 selected. #SierraLeone made the cut & delivered.
Through the @EdTechHub AI Challenge, supported by @FCDOGovUK, #SierraLeone stood among global education leaders and built an AI solution that works.

In Kigali yesterday for the @MastercardFdn SEA II SAG meeting. Hard conversations on finance gaps, curriculum relevance, & youth voice. S/L is a case study in this landmark research our reforms are in the record. Africa's edu. story is ours to write.

I was inspired by Rwanda’s education transformation during my visit to the Ministry of Education. Their digital assessment systems, real-time learning data, & commitment to evidence-based policy offer valuable lessons for #SierraLeone. #Education #Rwanda #NESA
#SierraLeone’s message at the “High-level Ministerial Webinar on Best Practices in Domestic Education Financing.”
We are not just talking, we are acting. Investing smarter, leading boldly, & ensuring every child counts.

I was pleased to welcome reps from Fab AI to explore how AI can accelerate foundational learning in #SierraLeone. Our goal is simple: every child reading fluently & mastering numeracy by the end of primary school. Strong partnerships. Smarter systems. Better outcomes.#FQSE #FabAI
Yesterday, I chaired the 10th Africa Foundational Learning Ministerial Coalition Meeting (virtual).
One message stood out: our children cannot wait.
From ADEA 2025 outcomes to preparing for #FLEX2026, the focus must be ACTION, not reports.
Africa will go far together.
English Language Conference 2026, hosted by the Ministry of Basic & Senior Secondary Education with Africa HCD+, focuses on improving English for national development.

Gratified to share Sierra Leone’s digital education journey at a global dialogue with policymakers from 18 countries. Our National Digital Learning Strategy is driving equity, innovation, and better learning for every child. #DigitalEducation #SierraLeone

Two of our own: Momodu Sheku Conteh & John Balla Marah are blazing a trail as the 1st #LIFTFellows
Through @eduorgglobal + MBSSE, we’re building local leadership & using evidence to drive change.
This is President Bio’s #BigFive in action. #HumanCapital #Inclusion
Africa will be home to 40% of the world’s youth by 2050. If we fail to invest in #FoundationalLearning now, we risk squandering that potential.
In my latest op-ed for @cnbcafrica, I reflect on Sierra Leone’s journey and the path ahead.
