And while you're here, plug for Stefan Dercon's next book: I've been waiting c20 years for someone to write this - why some countries and not others. Shot through with his brilliant insight and irreverence (Belgian humour?)

Also just out: 5 tests for developing countries to assess (genuine) cyber risk. This is a great note: cyber so often only considered according to rich country contexts. Pragmatic, useful.

It’s a year today since Benno died. I miss his guidance every day and his work is more important than ever. So honoured to have worked with him @DigiPathOxf @BlavatnikSchool

Recovery from learning loss. Excellent report from GEEEAP. Keep schools open but ... role for tech: material/training for teachers @ scale; adaptive soft-ware for catch up; and teachers keeping in touch with students by phone
