Publisher: New York : Routledge, 2023Description: xi, 116p.ISBN: 9781032413037.DDC classification: 370.9171241 Summary: Education, once regarded as a key pillar of Commonwealth activity, is increasingly inconspicuous on Commonwealth agendas.

This book reviews some of the principal dimensions of education development in Commonwealth member states and the challenges they face, including girls’ education, student exchange, the use of technology, education challenges in small states, and efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in and through education. Across all its contributions, this book examines the case for education being a continued priority area for Commonwealth collective engagement and considers where and how the Commonwealth might direct future efforts in education at a time of constrained resources.
