Unit 28: Globalization of Education


            •   A global education should teach about issues that cross national boundaries, and     Notes
                interconnected systems on ecological, cultural, economical, political and technological
                grounds such as the Globalization program which draws upon expertise in many areas
                such as humanities, social science and environmental science.
            •   A lack of infrastructure and funding makes it difficult to implement any technological and
                communication advancements.
            •   The spread of education internationally, as a result of globalization, has clearly had effects
                on cultures worldwide. The capitalist society is gradually becoming global with a strong
                emphasis on free trade emerging. Educational institutions have reacted accordingly, by
                becoming more market oriented, focusing their energy more on creating funds rather
                than providing sufficient education for students.
            •   The internationalisation of higher education can be linked to various internal and external
                changes in the international system. Externally, there have been changes in the labour
                market, which have resulted in calls for more knowledge and skilled workers, and workers
                with deeper understandings of languages, cultures and business methods from all over the
                world.
            •   The role of education has become more linked to globally competitive positions.
                Subsequent  changes in university functions have lead universities toward “direct
                entrepreneurial activity to sustain themselves."
            •   University courses must now be cross-cultural in content, which is in association with the
                growing number of students.
