Keeping Girls in School Act

This bill directs the U.S. State Department and USAID to expand global programs supporting adolescent girls' access to secondary education. It requires evidence-based strategies to address specific barriers like harmful cultural norms, safety risks, early marriage, costs, and inadequate school facilities in countries where girls face disproportionate challenges. The legislation mandates coordinated efforts across U.S. agencies, annual progress reporting to Congress with measurable goals for closing gender gaps, and alignment with existing U.S. global strategies on girls' education and gender equality. It also requires transparent public reporting on program implementation and outcomes for 10 years. The bill directly affects U.S. foreign aid programs targeting girls' education in developing nations.
