Learning Objectives
A. define globalization;
B. create a cluster map that shows the
aspects of globalization and:
C. interpret its implications to our society,
D. appreciate the value of globalization in
our daily lives.
Globalization refers to the
increasing interconnectedness
and convergence of activities
and forms of life among
diverse cultures throughout
the world.
Rinne (in Vega, et al., 2015) emphasizes that
educational policy has become an ever more
important part of economic, trade, labor, and social
policy in western countries.

Global Education and Globalization

Globalization demands an education that develops
higher-order cognitive and interpersonal skills required
for problem-finding, problem-solving, articulating
arguments, and deploying verifiable facts or artifacts.
Objectives of global education are to develop learners’:
•Ability to think critically and ethically
•Ability to effectively access, interpret, evaluate and apply
information.
•essential for facing a constantly changing work
environment
•for continuing self-education
• for participation as an ethical and responsible member of
a global society.
Implications of Global Information Society to Education
1. Demand for widening the education access for all
2. Lifelong learning
3. Global versus local cultural developments
4. Creations of new educational networked organizations
(ex.Global virtual universities, virtual schools, multinational
educational consortiums)
5. Changing of educational management from hierarchical
institutions to equal distributions of network organizations,
from commanding to negotiating
6. Demand for more flexible and general skills (ex. Meta-skills like
problem-solving, searching information, learning skills,etc.)
Core Values for Global
Education
•Peace and non-violence
•Social justice and human rights

Globalization and Its Impact on Education
The impact of globalization and the manner in which the system should
respond to the needs of globalization would require to be studied under
two broad heads:
1. The needed reform within the educational system like content, equity,
excellence, etc.
2. The fall out of globalization will entail determining strategies relating to
the impending internationalization of education, finance-related issues,
and privatization of secondary and higher education.
Needed Reforms in Education
1. Content of Education.
A. Curriculum Up-gradation.
Advances in information technology have revolutionized among others
the content of knowledge and the processes of educational
transaction. Information processing technologies provide an efficient
framework for the storage, management, analysis and application of
information.
B.Productivity orientation.
The basic objective of globalization is to enhance productivity and to
make the educational system an instrument in preparing students who
can compete in the world markets as productive members of society.
2. The Fall Out of Globalization
A. Internationalization of Education. Implicit in the system
of globalization is the inevitability of internationalization of
the educational system, particularly at the higher education
stage. It is assumed that education will improve it is
internationalized and healthy competition will take place. It
will provide global opportunities, promote goodwill, and will
encourage exchange of scholars.
B.Finance-related issues. In order to be part of global
configuration, the requirement of funds for social services
including education will increase manifold. For this purpose,
it is necessary to augment government funding for education.
c. Privatization of secondary and higher education.
As a corollary to the suggestions about reducing public investment
in secondary and higher education, plea has been made to hand
over these sectors to private institutions. It has also been suggested
that institutions beyond primary basic education should increasingly
depend upon tuition fees, the philanthropy of the general
public, and the industrial and commercial organizations, which
should be allowed to set up, manage and finance institutions of post
elementary education.
Education as a service industry is part of globalization
process under the umbrella of the General Agreement
on Trade and Services (GATS). There is however a
distinct possibility that thus might force countries with
quite different academic needs and resources to
conform to structures inevitably designed to service
the interest of the most powerful academic systems
and corporate educational providers breeding
inequality and dependence, (Altbach in Vega, et al
2015).
In conclusion, globalization on education has
brings the benefits to us but it also has some
limitations. However, globalization on education
has radically transformed
the world in every aspect.
It has become increasingly inter-connected and
inter-dependent. It also made the global
education increasingly competitive and people
are highly educated.
