MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
The Commonwealth of Learning is continuing the tradition of recognising and honouring excellence in distance education through awards to be presented during the Sixth Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning (PCF6). The Forum will take place in Kochi, Kerala, India from 24-28 November 2010. Since its inception as part of COL's tenth anniversary celebrations, the programme has honoured 39 individuals and 22 institutions. These awards are highly prized by the winners and the conferment ceremony has become a high point of the Pan-Commonwealth Forums on Open Learning.
There are four categories of awards designed to recognise excellence:
I encourage our colleagues and friends in open and distance learning to submit nominations for the awards and to attend the Sixth Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning. The Forum is being jointly organised by COL in partnership with Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).
PCF6 will explore how open and distance learning can help to achieve the international development goals and education for all. The conference theme is “Access and Success in Learning: Global Development Perspectives”, with a focus on four key areas:
-
Social Justice
-
Community Development
-
Skills Development
-
Formal Education
The Forum's website is www.col.org/pcf6
