Commonwealth business communicationshttps://doi.org/10.60682/y4kw-ns37ChapterThis year the crown to be used in King Charles’ coronation ceremony was first checked over and adjusted to fit its new wearer. Sir Shridath Ramphal, writing 14 years ago to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Commonwealth Education Conference in Oxford in 1959, described Commonwealth educational co-operation as ‘the Jewel in the Commonwealth Crown’. Many in the Commonwealth community now ask whether the Commonwealth crown also requires fresh scrutiny and refurbishment. Are the preciousstones of Commonwealth principles and programmes intact? Have some been dislodged or mysteriously disappeared? Does the educational ‘jewel’ to which Sir Shridath referred retain its lustre and prominent position, or has it become no more than a memory, a buried treasure?enResearch Subject Categories::SOCIAL SCIENCES::Social sciences::EducationBook
