President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama announced a government initiative Tuesday to support the education of girls around the globe. As part of “Let Girls Learn,” federal agencies will direct resources toward helping girls attend school.

…Resources from the United States Agency for International Development that already target adolescent girls will now be moved under the “Let Girls Learn” banner, and the Obama administration’s 2016 budget request includes an additional $250 million toward the effort.
