Caribbean COL Focal Points met with COL leadership and staff in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia from 27 to 28 January 2020.

In order to make its relationship with each Commonwealth Member State more systematic and interactive, the Commonwealth of Learning first introduced a network of ‘COL Focal Points’ in 2006.

Focal Points, senior officials nominated by ministries of education, keep ministers briefed about COL’s work, provide guidance on country priorities and serve as a valuable strategic resource.

COL hosts regular meetings to update Focal Points on its work in their region and the wider Commonwealth, and to consult with them on regional and national priorities. Between 2018 and 2020, COL’s Focal Points met twice for regional consultations.
