While in Geneva, Dr Betty Ogange, Education Specialist: Teacher Education at COL, met with Dr Moira V. Faul, Executive Director of NORRAG, to explore opportunities for collaboration and build stronger partnerships for global education.
Their discussion highlighted the value of bringing greater expertise from the Global South into global education debates, drawing on NORRAG’s #TheSouthAlsoKnows initiative and shared interests in equitable knowledge production and international cooperation.
Partnerships such as these help strengthen dialogue across institutions and contribute to more inclusive, context-responsive approaches to education worldwide.

🌍 Calling all educators and school leaders!
As technology rapidly transforms the educational landscape, the Commonwealth of Learning and the Centre for Global Education have launched a joint global survey to map exactly how youth around the world are engaging with technology and modern learning paths.
💻 How you can support: We want to hear directly from youth and students worldwide. Help us by sharing the survey with your classrooms, student networks, youth councils and school groups.
The survey takes less than five minutes to complete and will directly impact international digital education and global citizenship initiatives. 🔗 ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/87LeMcIn
