Summary

Keeping Girls in School Act This bill authorizes the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to enter into acquisition, assistance, or financing agreements to address societal, cultural, health, and other barriers that adolescent girls face in accessing quality secondary education. USAID's Senior Coordinators for International Basic Education Assistance and Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment and the State Department's Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues shall oversee all U.S. resources and activities relating to educational opportunities for adolescent girls.
