Acceptance Speech at the Special Convocation of The Open University, London

Abstract

Distance education and technologies have opened up
 infinite possibilities for millions across the
 Commonwealth. Achieving sustainable development
 remains an aspirational goal for all of us. How can we
 meaningfully contribute to our own development and that
 of our societies in a sustainable manner? How can we
 make this a more prosperous, more equitable world where
 the futures of coming generations are not compromised?
