| A Word from Bob Prouty |

EFA FTI had a successful Board of Directors meeting in Kigali in May – the opening ceremonies and presentation by our host country, Rwanda, set a positive tone and established a focus on the real business of schooling.

I found it exhilarating that the Board devoted so much time to issues of substance: mother tongue instruction, teacher quality, the time teachers spend in the classroom, and a host of other topics. Papers on fragile states, girls' education, learning outcomes, and the results framework provided a basis for meaningful dialogue on issues that will define the FTI partnership for years to come.
