COL was pleased to welcome a delegation from Telangana, India, to our headquarters in Vancouver, Canada. The delegation included Professor Chakrapani Ghanta, Vice Chancellor of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU), and Professor Kumar Molugaram, Vice Chancellor of Osmania University.
Over the next few days, the Vice Chancellors will take part in briefings with COL colleagues on open schooling, teacher education, skills development, micro-credentials, artificial intelligence and other areas of shared interest. Their programme will also include discussions with subject-matter experts at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver Community College and Simon Fraser University.
Technology serves as an important bridge to education across India. This visit will help advance the aims of the MOU signed last year between COL and BRAOU by supporting the development and sharing of open and distance learning knowledge, resources and technologies for sustainable development.
We also thank Dr Yogita Rana for her gracious opening remarks on behalf of the Government of Telangana. We look forward to several days of learning, exchange and collaboration.

Today, the Maldives celebrates 61 years of independence!
The Maldives has shown strong leadership in education, including in addressing the digital divide, future-proofing education, supporting learners with disabilities and using education to respond to climate challenges.
Together with its education partners, the Maldives is also expanding the use of technology to make learning more accessible and responsive to the diverse needs of learners.
As the country marks this important national milestone, we celebrate our continued partnership in support of learning that is inclusive and resilient.

As athletes from across the Commonwealth come together for #Glasgow2026, the Commonwealth Games remind us that sport can build much more than physical ability. It can strengthen teamwork, leadership, confidence, and inclusion.
Ahead of the Games, Commonwealth sports ministers renewed their commitment to harnessing the power of sport to advance sustainable development, inclusion and peace at the 12th Commonwealth Sports Ministers Meeting. They made commitments to greater investment in community sport and physical activity, stronger partnerships and capacity-building, increased access to funding for sport for development and peace, and more opportunities for young people, women and girls.
At COL, we believe sport can support learning, strengthen community inclusion and open pathways to improved livelihoods. We wish all athletes every success as they compete and connect with diverse communities across the Commonwealth.
