Debbie Baff has written a blog post for us on Open Education Wales <http://education.okfn.org/open-education-wales/>. Back in September 2013, Wales confirmed its pioneering status in the world of OER by becoming one of the first nations to fully embed the concept of 'Open Education' within a national strategy. By signing a public declaration of intent, Welsh universities underscored their commitment to innovation and increasing access to higher education -- be this in Wales or elsewhere in the world. If anyone one else would like to share their national strategy in our Around the World <http://education.okfn.org/category/world/> series just email.
