 Warm congratulations to the Rector, Professor Ojad Darojad and colleagues at the University of Tarbuka as you celebrate your 36th anniversary from all of us here at the Commonwealth of Learning. You have much to celebrate but let me just outline three things. First, in a short span of 36 years, you have become a mega university well known for open and distance learning, not just in Asia but around the globe. This is largely due to your innovations and proactive investment in research. Second, you have demonstrated how appropriate technologies can be harnessed for reaching the unreached, even in remote atolls. This aligns very well with your social mission. Third, having embraced open educational resources, you are considered leaders in this field. And as we know, using OER helps reduce costs and improve the quality of teaching and learning for everyone. Now these are major achievements and areas of common interest to both University of Tarbuka and the Commonwealth of Learning. So let me wish you every success as you continue to strengthen higher education in Indonesia.
