About the Ministers Conference The Education Ministers from 52 countries of the Commonwealth are invited to come to Scotland in October 2003 to participate in their 15th Conference.
The working sessions for the Parallel Symposium brought delegates together to hear from leading experts and discuss key issues in education in the Commonwealth. A list of the working sessions is available here.
Who will be the audience? Delegates to the Ministers' Conference and the Parallel Symposium will be visiting the Showcase of Best Practice during the Conference. These three events will take place in the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. Young people from the Youth Summit will be making a visit. Groups and individuals who apply in advance may also be admitted.
It is highly appropriate for education for citizenship which is a curricular priority in many commonwealth countries. Targeted at the 11-14 age range, the resources cover Commonwealth history, as well as political and geographical issues.
Alongside these resources are teacher support materials for the official 15CCEM film “Closing the Gap - Music for Life”, commissioned by the Scottish Executive, for schools in Scotland to commemorate 15CCEM.
