Happy Independence Day, Malta!

For a small Commonwealth member state that is also part of the European Union, flexible and future-ready education can have an impact far beyond national borders. As the country advances its Digital Education Strategy 2025–2030, its focus on digital skills, inclusive access and educator development is helping build more connected, ethical and future-ready learning systems.

COL has worked with Malta since 2015 to strengthen digital education. That partnership led to the Commonwealth Centre for Connected Learning (3CL), hosted in Malta, which continues to advance innovations in digital literacy, trustworthy digital identities, blockchain-enabled credentials and responsible uses of emerging technologies, including AI.

We celebrate the country’s valuable small state perspective and contribution to connected learning and wish the nation continued success as it invests in open education, skills and opportunity for all.
