The term globalization is often used
to describe the growing integration
of economics worldwide through
increases in:
trade
flows,
investment
and technology transfer.

The term conveys
a sense that
international
forces are driving
more and more
developments in
the world.

Rinne (2000) emphasizes that
educational policy
has become an ever
more important
part of this
economic,
trade, labor,
and social
policy in
western
countries.

One concrete global development
is the development
of mega-universities,
university networks
and virtual
universities,
that can offer
competitive training
programs for students
recruited from all over the world.

It refers to an increasing
interconnectedness and convergence of
activities and forms of life among
diverse cultures throughout the world.

An education for globalization
should therefore nurture the
higher order cognitive and
interpersonal skills required for
problem finding, problem
solving, articulating
arguments, and deploying
verifiable facts or artifacts.
GLOBAL EDUCATION AND
GLOBALIZATION

Globalization, in some
ways, democratizes and
intensifies
interdependence and also
creates new forms of local
reaction and self-
definition.
EDUCATION SYSTEMS
constitute the core of the
globalization process

Globalization extends
students’ awareness of the
world in which they live by
opening them
to the diverse heritage
of human thoughts
and action, and
creativity places
particular emphasis
on the changes of
communication and

CHARACTERISTICS OF
GLOBALIZATION
THAT CAN BE LINKED
TO EDUCATION

“Globalization
links individuals and
institutions across the world”

In seeking to
understand and
theorize the nature of
globalization and its
effects in education, it is
argued that
globalization has both
potentially negative as
well as potentially
positive effects.

Cultural terms

Globalization is undoubtedly an
important constitutive
feature of the modern
world. One of the current
interdisciplinary
assumptions
is that globalization
necessarily amounts
to the loss of
cultural identity.

Philosophers may argue
endlessly about globalization,
but they can all agree that it
refers to an increasing
interconnectedness and
convergence of activities
and forms of life
among diverse
cultures through
the world.

SOCIO-CULTURAL,
ECONOMIC, AND
POLITICAL ISSUES ON
GLOBALIZATION

1.Socio-cultural Issues
One of the paradoxes of
globalization is that difference is
becoming increasingly
normative. Globalization and
massive migrations are
changing the ways we
experience national
identities and cultural
belonging.

2. Economic Issues On
Globalization
David Bloom argues that because
of globalization, education is
more important than ever before
in history. He deploys a vast array
of up-to-date data on the state of
global education in much of the
developing world.

Primary education
enrolments have improved
worldwide, consistency and
quality of education
experiences remain
“patchy”. Furthermore,
secondary
Education
in developing
countries remains
quite weak.

According to Bloom,
the challenges and
opportunities brought
about by globalization
include a more
competitive world
economy, the
increasing importance
of cross national
communication, and
the rapid speed of
change.

Globalization brings about
opportunities for
education, particularly in
the ways
that new technologies
can be put to work to
improve both the
quantity and quality
of education

“Education creates a capacity to
mitigate the disparities in the
world today that
are potentially very destabilizing,
both from economic and a
political point of view.”
-Bloom, 2004

3. Political Issues on
Globalization
At the political level there has been the
constraint on national/state policy
making posed by the external demands
from transnational institutions.

CONFLICT AND
CONSENSUS PERSPECTIVE
ON THE ROLE OF
EDUCATION IN
UNDERSTANDING
GLOBALIZATION

While globalization has created
a great deal in economic policy,
and grassroots circles, many
applications and applications of
the phenomenon remain virtual
terra incognita.
The forces of globalization
are taxing youth, families,
and educations system
worldwide.
