I want to join others in thanking @NicolaSturgeon for her work as Scotland's First Minister @ScotGov and wish her well in what she does in the future.
This week @EduCannotWait has its replenishment for education in emergency funds in Geneva. @TheShaziaRamzan sets a great example of how important education has been for her and in helping other girls who face opposition to their own futures.
