Dear friends,
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.28cm; line-height: 108%">Starting from
this issue, we will be providing a brief <i>fortnightly</i> <i>internal
update </i>to those who are participating in the work/ meetings
of the National Coalition on the Education Emergency (<b>NCEE</b>).
We feel this will be useful, as our network has expanded, and many
activities are being organized in parallel. The newsletter, for a
broader circulation, will be issued monthly. The internal update
will take only a few minutes to read. Feel free to make
suggestions and any help in any area! Please visit the <a
href="https://educationemergency.net/">education emergency
website </a>for more information.</p>
