The index will compile data to highlight gaps in secondary educational opportunities as well as gaps in donor funding, the magazine said in a statement. “This new index is a ‘report card’ for our leaders, a critical step toward helping ensure that my sisters everywhere can have a quality, safe and free secondary education,” said the 18-year-old Yousafzai in the statement.
