COL Celebrates 25 Years!

Twenty five years ago Commonwealth Heads of Government met in Vancouver, Canada and decided to establish an organisation that would use distance learning and technologies to promote education and training in Member States and to strengthen Commonwealth co-operation. Today the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) has admirably fulfilled that vision and become a well-respected organisation that helps governments and institutions to expand the scale, efficiency and quality of learning that leads to development.

Principal and Pro Vice Chancellor Professor Clement Sankat, who is a member of COL’s board, was in Canada to celebrate the 25 year milestone and to recognize the tireless efforts of the many from around the Commonwealth and the strong and stable foundations they have laid.
