About CEC
The Council for Education in the Commonwealth has a strong parliamentary base; its joint parliamentary chairpersons come from the three main parties in the House of Commons and are actively involved in its activities. Members of the Council are drawn from both Houses, and from High Commissions, all sectors of education, NGOs, particularly those dealing with Commonwealth students, the public service and the private sector. Student members are particularly welcome and can participate in the Council's programme of activities.
