During a recent visit to the Ministry of Education and Training, COL's Education Specialist for Teacher Education, Dr Betty Ogange, met with CEO Mr 'Isikeli N Oko to discuss the upcoming 'OER for STEM Education' workshop, hosted from 30 September – 2 October 2024, at the University of the South Pacific (USP) @UniSouthPacific Tonga Campus.

Dr Ogange, together with Dr Rajni Chand, Director of PACFOLD, COL’s Pacific Regional Centre hosted by USP, also visited Tonga National University (TNU) to discuss capacity-building projects in Open and Distance Learning. TNU’s Acting Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Manu Akauola, thanked COL for its sustained efforts to meet the evolving needs of this new institution. In further discussions with Dr Sela Teisina and senior staff at TNU’s Faculty of Education, Arts, and Humanities, COL explored capacity-building needs in online teacher training. Through these collaborations, COL is proud to support Tonga’s vision for quality education under the 'Faiako Ma’a Tonga' initiative
