Remarks at COL’s Board of Governors Reception, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 13 June 2013 by Professor Asha Kanwar, President & Chief Executive Officer, Commonwealth of Learning // Thank you for joining us for our 25th anniversary celebrations. Twenty five years ago the Commonwealth Heads of Government met here in Vancouver and decided to establish an organization that would use distance learning and technologies to promote education and training in Member States and to strengthen Commonwealth cooperation. Today we can say that COL has fulfilled that vision and become a well-respected organization that helps governments and institutions to expand the scale, efficiency and quality of learning that leads to development.
