Happy 69th Independence Day, Ghana!
COL’s work in Ghana, with support from COL’s Regional Centre, the Regional Training and Research Institute for Distance and Open Learning (RETRIDOL) in Nigeria, is strengthening the quality and access of higher education, teacher education, lifelong learning for farmers, gender equality initiatives and skills training.
In recent years, together with local partners, we have:
• Trained over 5,000 teachers
• Improved the livelihoods of more than 30,000 farming households
• Supported over 13,000 learners through the Skills Online programme
Stakeholders from across the country have also participated in national and regional workshops to build capacity in Moodle, ODL policy and delivery, continuous professional development, Open Educational Resources, and Teacher-in-the-Loop AI.
We look forward to deepening our collaboration with partners across Ghana to make open education more equitable, inclusive, and accessible for everyone.
