the movement of material resources, financial
resources, labor, technology and ideas.
 Education is an important sector in any economy and
globalization has its implications for this sector as well.

is education confined to a particular period of life.

life will be essential for adapting the evolving
requirements of new generation and for better mastery
of changing time from the rhythms of individual
existence.
EQUITY AND EXCELLENCE:
 An important component of globalization in relation to
education is the need for producing quality manpower
that can successfully face the competition in the world.
 Quality and excellence have become the watchwords of
the new millennium everywhere.
 No system of education can rise above the level of
teachers’. Teacher must be trained and educated
properly.
TEACHER EDUCATION:

who have professional competencies.
 In this age of globalization, we need to make the system
of teacher education more innovative and futuristic in

plan for their own personal and professional
development. They are expected to take responsibility
and take charge for their own learning and development.
