Rihanna Meets With President Of France To Discuss Education

Rihanna is taking her role as an ambassador for Global Partnership for Education very seriously. A couple of months ago, the superstar visited a school in Malawi -- and even helped teach a math class. This week, Rihanna met with the French president to speak about education.

Last month, Riri tweeted President Emmanuel Macron and asked him if he would be willing to fund education programs that aim to make education more accessible to children around the world. On Wednesday (July 26), Rihanna had the productive sit down with him and the president's wife, Madame First Lady Brigitte Macron

“I just had the most incredible meeting with the President and the First Lady,” Rihanna told ABC News while in Paris. “They were incredibly welcoming to us, we focused on the topic of education from global aspects and we're going to make a very big announcement this coming September. We are going on to do even more work this October in Africa.

“I was so inspired and impressed with his leadership,” Rihanna continued, as she spoke about Macron and her plans to have more discussions with world leaders about schooling. “I can't wait for you guys to hear where this is going to go, but I think this is the year for education."

Rihanna was so grateful to chat with the president and first lady, she tweeted out a thank you note to them. "Thank you Mr. President @EmmanuelMacron and Madame First Lady for the incredible meeting and passion for global and girls education!" See the tweet below. 

Rihanna, you better work.
