This reissue, first published in 1980, is based on the experiences of the International Extension College in developing distance teaching.

It then considers how that experience can be used, perhaps by creating a network of radio colleges, to supplement and extend existing schools and colleges....

Commonwealth scholarships began in 1959. They have since moved over 30,000 people across borders, launching them into influence as politicians, poets, painters, professors--and the rest.

The second edition of this book, revised and updated since it was first published to mark the scholarships'...
