Higher Education Minister Pierre Gomez said the cash hits right when they're turning Gambia College into a proper university and upgrading all teaching programs to degree level. He flagged how girls finish high school but then fall off getting into college, which basically caps their education at that point. EU Ambassador Emmanuela Del Re said they're targeting enrollment gaps in rural spots while pushing digital learning and STEM programs, plus trying to get more qualified women teaching. Finance Minister Seedy Keita told everyone that the money needs to show real results on the ground because investing in girls' education gives the biggest bang for development. The whole thing runs through UNOPS and UNFPA, working with the education ministries. [/QUOTE]
