The decision followed the General Assembly\u2019s consideration and adoption of the evaluation report by the Secretary-General, Manssour Bin Mussallam, regarding The Gambia\u2019s fulfilment of all the application procedures for State Membership.<\/p>\n

In his report, the Secretary-General stated that following his official visits to The Gambia, in the context of official visits to a number of Member States, Founding Members and other countries which have expressed interest to join the Organisation, authorities in Banjul expressed interest to join the Organisation.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, The Gambia submitted its application to the Secretary-General containing the necessary documents such as the signed pages of the OEC Constitutive Charter, the Universal declaration of Balanced and Inclusive education as well as the Instrument of Acceptance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Secretary-General has evaluated The Gambia\u2019s application and reached a conclusion that it meets all procedures and conditions outlined in the General Assembly Resolution GA\/RES\/18,\u201d the report read in part.<\/p>\n

On presentation of the report, the General Assembly unanimously adopted it and accepted The Gambia\u2019s membership.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the passing of the Resolution and assuming the Member State seat, The Gambia\u2019s Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Claudiana Cole, said her country\u2019s admission into the Organisation was a significant step in the country\u2019s journey for social-economic transformation through joining like-minded countries, with shared aspirations and committed to championing systemic educational transformation and development.<\/p>\n

The Minister appreciated the Secretary-General for the positive recommendation and to the General Assembly for unanimously supporting the Resolution. She pledged The Gambia\u2019s full and active participation in the implementation of the Collective Programme of Member States.<\/p>\n

In welcoming The Gambia into the Organisation, the General Assembly appreciated the Secretary-General for his fruitful efforts to promote the Organisation across the vast global south geography and for assisting interested States in efficiently completing the necessary procedures for Membership.<\/p>\n
