Happy New Zealand Day!
Our ongoing collaboration with the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) in New Zealand has supported significant advances in ODFL delivery and quality across Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. With generous contributions from MFAT, the successful first phase of the Pacific Partnership for Open, Distance, and Flexible Learning has trained approximately 7,000 teachers, more than 950 STEM educators, and over 5,900 young people.
We look forward to continuing our work with the ministry and Pacific leaders to co-design a long-term vision for more equitable and inclusive learning across the region. As a major contributor to COL, New Zealand continues to play a vital role in expanding access to quality education throughout the Commonwealth.
