Advancing gender equ

Advancing gender equality in STEM means creating more inclusive learning environments and expanding opportunities for women to progress and lead. Through our Women in STEM (WiSE) Community of Practice webinar series, COL brings educators, researchers and other STEM stakeholders together to examine persistent barriers, share experiences and perspectives, and identify practical ways to drive meaningful change.

The next session, Gender and STEM in higher education: Opportunities for change, on 5 November will feature Dr Mildred Airo of Maseno University, Kenya, and Professor Ram Ramaswamy of IIT Delhi, India. Drawing on their experiences at different career stages, they will discuss gender bias, inclusive teaching practices and opportunities for systemic change in STEM education.

At #CHOGM2026, COL i

At #CHOGM2026, COL is calling for a more inclusive, responsible and locally driven approach to digital transformation in education.

Our talking points on Transforming with Technology emphasise the need for affordable and accessible educational AI, greater national control over sensitive data and how AI is used, technologies that reflect local languages, cultures and knowledge, and safeguards that protect learners from digital harm.

To make this vision a reality, teachers and young people must have a voice in shaping how technologies are developed and used, ensuring they support innovation while protecting learners' safety and agency.

Follow the links on each card to explore the individual talking points, or read COL's full set of recommendations: doi.org/10.56059/11599/6156
