“We need a world-class education for all students; global competencies for all students; international benchmarking and applying lessons learned from other countries; and education diplomacy and engagement with other countries.”

Why do we need global education? The answer is simple. Our future will rely on global connectedness and intercultural interaction. In today's world, we are more connected than ever in human history and our students' futures will be found in the global community. Global education is essential to understanding the inter-connectivity of the world and those who live in it. Students need to know that their opportunities extend far beyond the borders of their town, state, and country. They need to understand that they are not just citizens of the U.S.; they are citizens of the world!
As we move further into the 21st century where globalization has shaped nearly every aspect of our lives, will our students be ready for what their global future holds? Do they have the skills, competencies, attitudes, and dispositions to be competitive in the global job market? Will they be able to solve the problems of tomorrow and help find solutions to global issues? |
