I have a follow up question for Baroness Sugg, where do the “Smart Buys” fit within the UK’s broader agenda on girls’ education?

The analysis in the report is really important. The inclusion of girls' education within it is welcome. However, it is important to be careful with how some of the findings from studies are considered. Caution needs to be taken with this conclusion:'Most evaluations of programs that did not specifically target girl have found bigger impacts on girls’ access than on boys’ (where girls were the disadvantaged gender), and general interventions deliver gains for girls in access and learning that are comparable to gains from girl-targeted interventions' is not entirely correct. Please see our paper that further unpacks the findings from the paper from which this conclusion comes:www.educ.cam.ac.uk
