“Our task is not simply to put AI tools in teachers’ hands, but to strengthen their agency to decide when, why and how AI can improve teaching and learning,” says Dr Betty Ogange, Education Specialist: Teacher Education at the Commonwealth of Learning.
As AI becomes an increasingly integral part of education, responsible integration must begin with teacher education and professional development. This means embedding AI literacy, ethics, critical thinking and inclusive practices into teacher education policies, curricula and assessment.

Professor Peter Scott, President and CEO of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), was honoured to join the opening session of the 52nd Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) in Georgetown, Guyana, today.
The meeting was opened by Dr Carla Barnett, Secretary-General of CARICOM, with the Hon. Sonia Parag, Minister of Education of Guyana and Chair of COHSOD, delivering an address on the theme of education for life, purpose and Caribbean progress.
Drawing on Guyana’s experience, Minister Parag called for education systems to look beyond examinations and to equip every learner with the knowledge, skills and confidence to adapt to a rapidly changing world and workplace. She called on educators and policymakers to invest in people by strengthening STEM foundations, building the capacity of teachers, advancing trusted micro-credential frameworks, and driving skills transformation.
COL looks forward to the insights, innovations and initiatives that will emerge from the meeting in Guyana, and to supporting efforts to build a more resilient and sustainable future for learners across the Caribbean.

Young people across the Commonwealth live in different contexts but share many of the same aspirations: quality education, decent work, and a sustainable future.
As digitalisation and AI reshape education and labour markets, young people need the skills and opportunities to adapt and thrive. This is especially important for women and girls, young people with disabilities, and youth in small states, rural areas or other underserved communities, where access to learning can remain limited.
This #InternationalYouthDay, Dr Tony Mays, Director: Education at COL, reflects on how inclusive learning, digital skills development, and meaningful youth participation can help young people across the Commonwealth shape more resilient futures.
