| Summary / Abstract (Note) | When compared with global bodies such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and The World Bank and with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Commonwealth education programmes are modest in scale and resourcing. Yet there have been significant successes, including the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan and the Commonwealth of Learning. The distinctive features and strengths of UNESCO and OECD in international education collaboration and partnerships are useful sources of ideas for strengthening Commonwealth education. There is considerable scope for more intense collaboration and Commonwealth-wide partnerships in addressing shared concerns. |
