Climate action, gender equality and the needs of small states are not separate challenges. They are cross-cutting priorities that shape how effectively education and development initiatives reach the people and communities that need them most.
With #chogm2026 bringing Commonwealth leaders together in Antigua and Barbuda, COL is highlighting three critical priorities that call for stronger partnerships and coordinated action.
Our talking points on Critical Connectors advocate for climate-resilient learning systems, empowering women and girls through education and livelihood training, and harnessing the agility and strengths of small states to develop and scale innovative solutions.
Together, these priorities emphasise the importance of community leadership and locally relevant, inclusive policies that translate local knowledge into practical solutions with lasting impact.

Advancing gender equality in STEM means creating more inclusive learning environments and expanding opportunities for women to progress and lead. Through our Women in STEM (WiSE) Community of Practice webinar series, COL brings educators, researchers and other STEM stakeholders together to examine persistent barriers, share experiences and perspectives, and identify practical ways to drive meaningful change.
The next session, Gender and STEM in higher education: Opportunities for change, on 5 November will feature Dr Mildred Airo of Maseno University, Kenya, and Professor Ram Ramaswamy of IIT Delhi, India. Drawing on their experiences at different career stages, they will discuss gender bias, inclusive teaching practices and opportunities for systemic change in STEM education.

At #chogm2026, COL is calling for a more inclusive, responsible and locally driven approach to digital transformation in education.
Our talking points on Transforming with Technology emphasise the need for affordable and accessible educational AI, greater national control over sensitive data and how AI is used, technologies that reflect local languages, cultures and knowledge, and safeguards that protect learners from digital harm.
To make this vision a reality, teachers and young people must have a voice in shaping how technologies are developed and used, ensuring they support innovation while protecting learners' safety and agency.
