IIE Blog: Empowering Voices and Contributing to HER Impact

Evgenia Valuy, Data Analyst with the Institute of International Education’s Center for Academic Mobility Research and Impact, shares findings from IIE’s two-year comparative report of the HER (Higher Education Readiness) program for girls in Ethiopia. "The power of education is part of IIE’s mission, and this program shows how a singular program like HER can have impacts that go well beyond the student. This program has empowered and transformed the schools and communities from which the HER girls came, and continues to have an impact long after they graduate."
