1. Globalization
and
Education

2. Globalization
• The worldwide movement toward
economic, financial, trade,
and communications integration.
• Globalization implies the opening of local and
nationalistic perspectives to a broader outlook of an
interconnected and interdependent world
with free transfer of capital, goods, and services across
national frontiers. However, it does not include
unhindered movement of labor and, as suggested by
some economists, may hurt smaller or
fragile economies if applied indiscriminately.

3. GLOBAL EDUCATION AND
GLOBALIZATION
• DEFINED the idea of a school curriculum that
has a worldwide standard of teaching and
learning. Is an effort to help individuals to see
the world as a single and global system and to
see themselves as participants of that system.
“James Becker”

4. • Education that opens people’s eyes and minds
to the realities of the globalised world and
awakens them to bring about a world of
greater justice, equity and Human Rights for
all. Learning for our global society.

5. Characteristics
of Globalization
with a Link to
Education

6. • Education Globalization
is the idea that our world is becoming a unified whole
with little or no cultural or social conflict. This central
idea of globalization is conducive to the idea of
education. For a student seeking to extend boundaries
and break barriers, globalization provides an opportunity
of a lifetime. Globalization has merits and demerits in
economics, business and politics. In education it has
merits for students and educators but there is also a
sense of an unhealthy takeover of education by market
forces. Broadly considered, however, Globalization is
freeing the world of education from limitations.

7. • Economic globalization
refers to the increasing interdependence of world economies as a
result of the growing scale of cross-border trade of commodities and
services, flow of international capital and wide and rapid spread of
technologies. It reflects the continuing expansion and mutual
integration of market frontiers, and is an irreversible trend for the
economic development in the whole world at the turn of the
millennium. The rapid growing significance of information in all types
of productive activities and marketization is the two major driving
forces for economic globalization. In other words, the fast globalization
of the world’s economies in recent years is largely based on the rapid
development of science and technologies, has resulted from the
environment in which market economic system has been fast
spreading throughout the world, and has developed on the basis of
increasing cross-border division of labor that has been penetrating
down to the level of production chains within enterprises of different
countries.

8. Socio-cultural Issues
• massive migration
• managing differences
• global changes in culture

9. • Politics Globalization
traditionally politics has been undertaken within national
political systems. National governments have been ultimately
responsible for maintaining the security and economic
welfare of their citizens, as well as the protection of human
rights and the environment within their borders. With global
ecological changes, an ever more integrated global economy,
and other global trends, political activity increasingly takes
place at the global level.
