It encompasses a multitude of disciplines,
communities, and cultures.
“There is no area of human activity that is not

10. Due to the advent of globalization, the way
people think, study and learn have changed
tremendously. The effects of globalization on
education can be seen in the rapid
developments in technology and
communications, changes within learning
systems, the changing roles of students and
teachers, and major concern on lifelong
learning. More so, there is a shift in the
concept of learning as contained and
organized in school, to the learner with the
vast potential to learn from all his
experiences.

11. The use of internet and other computer forms has
paved the way for alternative learning systems in
education like online learning and distance
learning. Educationally sound and well packaged
curriculum materials become the priority of schools
as well as the technologically sophisticated
“solutions” to the pedagogical problems of
overworked teachers. In this borderless information
society, education has to respond to additional
demands of a rapidly globalizing world by raising
awareness of societal and cultural diversity and the
idea of a global village.

learning.
Master the subject matter.
Implement efficient classroom management
strategies.

with peoples of the world thus, taking concrete
steps locally and globally to make a better world.
It must be thoroughly planned and consciously
taught.

15. It is outlines in UNESCO’s Recommendation
on Education for International
Understanding, Cooperation and Peace. This
document calls on teachers in schools around
the world to promote education at all levels
with an international dimension and a global
perspective in, to understand and respect all
peoples and their cultures, values, and ways
of life, to become aware of the increasing
global interdependence between peoples and
nations and to understand the necessity for
international solidarity and cooperation.
