Global Education refers to an educational approach that transcends national borders and fosters an understanding of global issues, intercultural competence, and a sense of global citizenship.
United Nations Secretary General in his speech at UN General Assembly asked “I regard myself as a lifelong student…Without education, where would I be? Where would any of us be?”
Because education transforms lives, economies and societies, “we must transform education”.
It aims to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to engage with global challenges, promote sustainable development, and contribute to a more inclusive and interconnected world.
In this article, we will explore the importance and purposes of global education, as well as the role of the United Nations (UN) and various states in promoting it.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

UN SDGs Data Report on Education for the year 2022:
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education, causing an estimated
147 million children to miss more than half of their in-class instruction
over the past two years.
This disruption could result in a combined total of $17 trillion in lifetime
earnings loss for this generation of children.
9. Progress in completing upper secondary school has been modest, with
the proportion of young people completing it increasing from 54% in
2015 to 58% in 2020.
However, the rate of progress has slowed compared to the previous
five-year period.
Data from 73 countries, mostly low- and middle-income, show that
around 70% of children aged 3 and 4 years old are developmentally on
track.
This indicates positive progress in early childhood development.
While the participation rate in organized pre-school learning has
increased steadily, reaching 75% in 2020, there is significant variation
between countries.
Only 20% of countries have taken significant measures to provide
additional mental health and psychosocial support for students following
school reopening, highlighting the need for greater attention to students'
well-being.
Gender parity remains a challenge in terms of both children meeting
minimum learning proficiency standards in reading and lower secondary
completion rates.
10. Most countries have not achieved these targets.
Access to basic services such as electricity, drinking water, and
sanitation facilities remains a concern, with approximately 25% of
primary schools globally lacking these essential amenities.
Additionally, only around 50% of primary schools have access to
facilities like information and communications technology and
disability-adapted infrastructure.
In 2020, there were approximately 12 million pre-primary
schoolteachers, 33 million primary school teachers, and 38 million
secondary school teachers worldwide.
Thankfully, 83% of primary and secondary school teachers received
training, indicating efforts to improve teacher quality.
These statistics highlight the significant challenges that still exist in
ensuring quality education for all.

Conclusion:
Global education holds immense importance in our increasingly
interconnected world.
It not only equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to
navigate global challenges but also fosters a sense of global citizenship
and promotes sustainable development.
12. By raising awareness of global issues, promoting intercultural
competence, and emphasizing social justice and peace, global education
plays a vital role in shaping responsible and engaged global citizens.
