How to prepare the teachers to compete
globally?
 2 Definitions of Global Education
• UNESCO – its goal is to become aware of
educational conditions or the lack of it in
developing countries worldwide, and aim to
educate all peoples to a certain world-wide
standard.
• It is a curriculum that is international in scope
which prepares today’s youth around the
world to function in one environment under
teachers who are intellectually, professionally
and humanistically prepared.
 United Nations’ 2015 6 Educational
Goals:
• Expand early childhood education
• Provide free and compulsory primary education
for all
• Promote learning and life skills for young and
adult
• Increase adult literacy by 50 %
• Achieve gender parity by 2005, gender equality
by 2015
• Improve quality of education
• James Becker (1982) stated that global
education encourages learners to see the
world as a whole, learn various cultures to
make them better relate and function
effectively within various cultural groups.
• The New York Daily
News lauded Ramil Buenaventura, a seventh
and eighth grade teacher at Renaissance
Charter School in Jackson Heights, for being an
engaging educator who “connects with his
students by incorporating rapping, dancing
and movies in the math curriculum.”
 21st Century Learning Goals:
• 21st Century Content: Global Awareness;
Financial, Economic, Business, and
Entrepreneurial literacy; Civic literacy; Health
and Awareness
• Learning and Thinking Skills
• ICT Literacy
• Life Skills
• 21st Century Assessment
• (SIC) Nobody can truly be knowledgeable
about everything today. People can only dip
their brain on all subjects once and that’s it.
We focus on one discipline, have MA of it, be a
Doctor of it, take a Post Doctor of it, before we
can say we really know something.
 Global Teacher
• A COMPETENT teacher who is armed with
enough skills, appropriate attitude and
universal values to teach students with both
time tested as well as modern technologies in
education in any place in the world. He or she
is someone who thinks and acts both locally
and globally with world-wide perspectives,
right in the communities where he or she is
situated.
