 s of state set and endorsed two global objectives:\n\n	40 million more gir
 ls in school\; and\n	20 million more girls reading by age ten or the end o
 f primary school in low and lower-middle income countries.\n\nThese object
 ives come from the recognition that girls universally face systemic barrie
 rs which intersect with poverty\, geography\, disability and minority stat
 us that prevent their access to and benefiting from twelve years of qualit
 y education. Yet\, education remains their most likely path to empowerment
 . The two goals are derived from and aligned with global and national fram
 eworks for measuring progress on SDG 4.\n&nbsp\;
