The Commonwealth Secretary-General said she was proud to see that the scholarship is open to all Commonwealth students, which is in line with Commonwealth values supporting mobility between member states. She told the audience that the first Commonwealth Conference of Education Ministers in Oxford in 1959 outlined many reasons for supporting student mobility:

enabling students to study subjects not available in their own countries
extending the choice of subjects for students from small countries
strengthening comparative and international studies
broadening the outlook of home students

She said: “While we face significant challenges in achieving accessible and quality education for all, these are made less daunting through multilateral cooperation and mutual support.

“I commend King Henry VIII College for providing these Commonwealth Sixth Form Scholarships and opening up new horizons of opportunity for students.”
