The Commonwealth of Learning’s (COL) latest issue of its magazine, Connections, is now available!

In this edition, under the theme ‘Learning as our common priority’, we take digital inspiration from the Pacific, as showcased at the recent meeting of the Commonwealth Heads of Government (CHOGM) in Samoa held in October 2024; we continue to note the rapid and ongoing changes on offer through generative artificial intelligence tools; check-in on recent gender equality and climate resilience work; and more.

Key highlights: 

The 2024 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report on technology in education in the Pacific is a unique tool for policymakers who are working to improve learning using technology. Developed in collaboration with the UNESCO GEM Report Team, this report was launched during CHOGM 2024.
