Led by youth presenters, the discussion will explore how advances in robotics, engineering and prosthetic technology can improve accessibility and inclusion across the Caribbean. The session will also examine why advanced prosthetics can be expensive, how they are engineered, and how innovation and technology could help make them more affordable and widely available.

Ending child marriag

Ending child marriage takes more than awareness. It takes collective action to ensure girls can exercise their rights and make decisions about their own futures.

On International Day of the Girl Child, we join this year's global call to end child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) and increase investment in girls’ rights.

With support from Global Affairs Canada, COL has worked with partners and local communities across the Commonwealth for more than a decade to challenge harmful social norms, engage families and community leaders, and strengthen local advocacy so girls can exercise their rights and stay in school.

In our latest blog, Frances Ferreira, Senior Adviser: Women and Girls at COL, shares a story of change from Pakistan that illustrates how collective, holistic approaches can help prevent child marriage across the Commonwealth: www.col.org/news/ending-child-marriage-takes-all-of-us/

On Fiji Day, we join

On Fiji Day, we join the people of Fiji in marking 56 years of independence and in recognising the country’s continued investment in education, skills and opportunity.

Through the National Education Policy Framework 2024–2033 and the National Development Plan 2025–2029, Fiji is strengthening inclusive and resilient education, expanding digital and distance learning, and renewing TVET and lifelong learning. Vision 2050 carries that ambition forward, with a strong teaching workforce at its centre.

Fiji’s commitment to flexible learning and skills development extends through its collaboration with COL. As home to the Pacific Centre for Flexible and Open Learning for Development (PACFOLD) at the University of the South Pacific, Fiji helps advance teacher development, open learning and skills for employment across the region.

We thank the Honourable Aseri Masivou Radrodro, Minister for Education, for his leadership and for his contribution as the Pacific regional representative on COL’s Board of Governors.

Vinaka vakalevu, and happy Fiji Day.
