How can education keep pace with the changing opportunities and challenges facing young people across the Commonwealth?

The August 2026 issue of Connections takes up this question, exploring youth innovation and co-creative solutions in the context of rapid technological change, mounting climate pressures, and an evolving global landscape.

Through partner contributions, expert voices, strategic insights, and evidence-based knowledge resources, the issue highlights why innovation must be paired with equity to reach learners who are still being left behind.

For Trinidad and Tob

For Trinidad and Tobago, preparing people for the future increasingly means creating stronger connections between education, skills and work. We celebrate the country’s progress on its Independence Day in expanding flexible learning, strengthening TVET, and embracing digital transformation and AI.

A regional leader in verifiable micro-credentials and digital public infrastructure, Trinidad and Tobago is helping to strengthen labour mobility, economic growth, and national resilience. As a small state of the Commonwealth, it also brings valuable perspectives on climate pressures and the skills needed for emerging blue and green economies.

COL looks forward to continuing our work with Trinidad and Tobago to widen access through open schooling, strengthen the quality of open and distance education, and build capacity for technology-enabled learning.
