At the Pre-CHOGM Foreign Ministers Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, COL President and CEO Professor Peter Scott presented COL's strategic talking points for #CHOGM2026, highlighting opportunities for Commonwealth countries to accelerate partnerships and investment in education, skills and lifelong learning.
COL's 15 talking points and 12 concrete opportunities for action focus on transforming learning systems, strengthening pathways from education to employment, building digital, green, blue and creative economy skills, and using emerging technologies responsibly. They also address cross-cutting priorities, including climate resilience, gender equality, and the unique challenges and strengths of small states.
These priorities matter for people across the Commonwealth: young people gaining the digital skills to launch businesses, teachers bringing new technologies into their classrooms, and communities building resilience through climate-smart livelihoods. Turning these opportunities into reality will take stronger partnerships and a shared commitment to results that last well beyond CHOGM.
On COL's interactive CHOGM microsite, we invite stakeholders across the Commonwealth to explore the talking points, consider the proposed actions, and reflect on where we can make the greatest difference together.

When small states succeed, the Commonwealth succeeds.
At the Commonwealth Ministerial Meeting on Small States at #CHOGM2026, COL's President and CEO, Peter Scott, and Vice-President, Anne-Marie Scott, are joining discussions on scaling up partnerships and investment to strengthen the resilience of small states, address shared challenges and contribute to a more prosperous future.
Central to this is investing in people, particularly young people, and equipping them with the skills and opportunities to succeed in a changing world. Strong partnerships are essential to expanding successful initiatives and delivering impact at a scale that benefits the Commonwealth's 2.7 billion citizens.
