Abstract
PCF5 Sub-theme: Cross-cutting Themes // Commonwealth education co-operation in its inter-governmental form effectively began nearly 50 years ago in Oxford at the time of the first Commonwealth Education Conference in 1959. Civil society had of course got there first: through their antecedent bodies today’s Association of Commonwealth Universities, Commonwealth Institute/Commonwealth Education Trust, Royal Commonwealth Society and League for Exchange of Commonwealth Teachers all have histories stretching back more than a hundred years. // The official mechanisms established in 1959 included the Commonwealth Education Liaison Unit, the forerunner of the Education Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat established in 1965; and the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan which will also celebrate its 50th birthday in 2009. In June next year in Kuala Lumpur the seventeenth in the series of education ministers’ conferences, the ‘17CCEM’, will be held and will afford an opportunity to review both past achievements and future possibilities.
