| Summary/Abstract |
The 2009 UK Forum for International Education and Training conference theme, politics, policies and progress in education, can be illustrated from experiences of government in Guyana, of the role of the Secretary General of the Commonwealth and of influential UN commissions. Tremendous progress has been made in the expansion and development of Commonwealth education systems over the past 50 years, although many obstacles have been encountered. Understanding of the potential and limitations of education in relation to development has greatly increased, but persistent problems of quality and inequality have yet to be resolved. As the world has shrunk, international interdependence in education has increased and the global community needs to apply policy formation and political processes intelligently in national as much as in international contexts. The Commonwealth has never enjoyed the 'hard power' at the disposal of larger bilateral and multilateral agencies through their substantial financial resources. It has the 'soft powers' of pioneering thinking and progressive strategy, consultation and co-operation across economic social and cultural divides, and of empowering even the smallest Commonwealth countries. The 'soft power' approaches to which the Commonwealth is committed should be an increasingly valued part of international policy-making and political accommodation in educational initiatives, through which a more equitable and harmonious future world community can be built.

" A Passing Glimpse is how Robert Frost titled his poem that inspires my words tonight. Do you remember them? In the context of 'glimpses' how can I start better than by recalling that exquisite verse.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article argues that, as the modern Commonwealth celebrates its 60th anniversary, the time has come for Ireland-which left the organisation in April 1949 baulking at the prospect of 'allegiance' to the British Crown-to return to the fold, now that Republican constitutions are common among Commonwealth members and new entrants, without historic links with Britain and the Crown, have been welcomed in.
