Description

Based on a pan-Commonwealth training workshop held in 1992 at the University of the South Pacific, this volume explores the skills required of the consultant and the ways in which institutions within small states can develop their consultancy capacity. It is presented as a useful manual for those with responsibility for managing educational consultancies.
