Description

Commonwealth Education Partnerships 2007 is the essential overview of education for development in the Commonwealth, focusing on both intra-Commonwealth collaboration as well as partnerships between member governments, civil society and the private sector.

The publication also includes:

  • Supporting teachers in delivering quality education
