Global Education is a compelling term that is getting a lot of use these days, which is great. But what exactly does it mean? Different things to different people, I’m sure, but here are my definitions:
-
Education is a basic human right (see the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26)
-
Everyone is entitled to a quality, free education
-
Global education is about sharing resources, collaborating, and learning from each other
-
Global education helps all students to become global citizens, something our students need to prepare for their futures
-
Technology can help create educational equity and a flat education – leveling the educational playing field
To further our understanding of Global Education, I have begun compiling a list of resources.
