One of a series of three research reports looking at what the evidence tells us about girls’ education in Africa. 

Looking from different standing points to look at girls’ education:

• the big picture (through our review of literature undertaken with the University of Birmingham)
• the fine print (through our work with the Education Development Trust investigating girls’ education in 477 schools in Kano and Lagos States in Nigeria)
• the opinions and practices of the teachers themselves through our Connecting Classrooms programme
