    Micro-Credentials as Catalysts for Supporting Strategic Development Goals in Education in the Commonwealth Caribbean, 2024
    (2024-08) McGreal, Rory; Commonwealth of Learning (COL); the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC)
    The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC®) spearheaded an initiative to explore the integration of micro-credentials (MCs) in the Caribbean region’s educational infrastructure. The initiative comprises five phases – research, analysis, policy support, regulation capacity building, and education system integration – to enable the education ecosystem in the region to introduce and standardise the adoption of MCs in the secondary and post-secondary levels. This report covers Phase 1 of the project, the scoping study, which explores the adoption and potential impact of MCs across several Commonwealth Caribbean countries, with a focus on their application in democratising education and enhancing regional development. MCs offer a promising avenue for supporting educational goals in the Commonwealth Caribbean by providing flexible, targeted learning opportunities aligned with specific skills and contemporary needs. Effective implementation will require collaborative efforts to overcome existing barriers and fully harness the potential of MCs to transform the Caribbean region’s educational landscape.

    Report on Technology-Enabled Learning Competency Framework for Teachers in Zambia
    (2023-10) Commonwealth of Learning (COL)
    The Report on Technology-Enabled Learning Competency Framework for Teachers in Zambia addresses the imperative of adapting to 21st-century education demands. Amidst the rise of technology-driven learning environments, this framework emerges as a response to evolving pedagogical landscapes. Acknowledging ICT's transformative potential in education, Zambia's Ministry of General Education seeks innovation through technology-enabled learning. Yet, teacher competencies in this realm remain uneven. The Teaching Council of Zambia intervenes to uplift teachers' continuous professional development through technology. Thus, this framework outlines vital knowledge, skills and attitudes, nurturing digital literacy and technological adeptness. Aligned with an international model designed by UNESCO and Zambia's context, the framework standardises competencies, offers guidance, fosters teacher professional growth and bridges digital disparities, ultimately enhancing education quality.
