The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan was drawn up at the First Commonwealth Education Conference held at Oxford in 1959. The general basis of the Plan is that those Commonwealth governments which are able to do so should institute Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships to be held by men and women from other Commonwealth countries at universities and other institutions of higher learning in the awarding country. The progress and development of the scheme have been reviewed at successive Commonwealth Education Conferences at New Delhi in 1962, Ottawa in 1964, Lagos in 1968, Canberra in 1971, Kingston in 1974 and Accra in 1977. For this purpose reports on the CSFP are presented to each Conference.
The usual practice so far has been to publish annual reports of the operation of the Plan for the preceding year and to present these to each Conference together with any mandated reviews and reports. They were numbered sequentially and the last was the Sixteenth Annual Report published in 1977. This was prepared, in time for the Seventh Commonwealth Education Conference in Ghana in 1977.
