Impact of globalisation in technical educationPadma Kannan
Globalization is impacting technical education in India. It is improving quality by increasing access to information through technology and encouraging international collaboration. However, it also poses challenges like loss of indigenous culture and lack of recognition of certain qualifications. The technical education system in India needs reforms like improving teacher recruitment and making curricula more industry-relevant. While globalization offers opportunities to develop globally-competent graduates, issues around accessibility and profit-motives in education need addressing to ensure equal opportunities for all. Overall, adopting globalization while protecting national values and culture can help advance India's progress.

Globalization in 21 st century educationJoseph Bias
This document discusses globalization in 21st century education. It defines globalization as the process of international integration arising from cultural exchanges promoted by advances in transportation and telecommunications. For education, globalization means students must compete globally for jobs and have skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity to succeed. Schools must adapt pedagogy and goals to ensure students can collaborate internationally and think critically. Experiential learning through activities can also help develop skills valued by employers. Technology allows tasks to be completed globally and students must be able to use it to access global markets.
Globalization is increasing the integration of economies worldwide through greater trade, investment, and technology sharing. It describes how political, economic, and cultural forces interact across borders. Globalization impacts education through greater economic interdependence, more cross-border political activities, and widespread transmission of ideas. Education systems must reform to develop skills like critical thinking, communication, and cultural understanding to prepare students for a globalized world with issues like inequality, technological change, and environmental problems. Schools will balance local and global influences as youth experience linked social, economic, and technological changes.
A world class education system according to the document provides students ownership over their learning, engages students through a flexible curriculum, involves students in a sustained learning process of developing, reviewing and revising, has a global orientation beyond classrooms and countries, and develops students' global competence through experiences in other cultures. The Malaysian Smart School aims to produce a technology-literate and creative workforce through reinventing teaching practices and management to prepare students for the information age. A knowledge-based economy relies on knowledge, information and high skills, and knowledge workers are important for economic growth by processing information into solutions and new strategies.
Human capital refers to the knowledge, skills, and health embodied in individuals that enables personal economic productivity. Pedagogy shapes how teachers impart knowledge and skills to students. Investing in education is crucial for developing human capital, which drives economic growth, reduces inequality, and promotes social mobility. Well-educated populations are better able to invent, innovate, and compete globally. Prioritizing education and health has significant economic returns by increasing productivity and reducing mortality.
The document discusses how globalization impacts education both positively and negatively. It describes how globalization can foster international cooperation between educational systems and help prepare students for careers in a globalized world. However, it also notes globalization may exacerbate inequality in access to education between developed and developing nations. Some benefits mentioned include enhancing students' ability to acquire and apply knowledge, while challenges include potential increases in technological and digital divides. Overall, the document presents a nuanced view of how globalization both benefits and disadvantages educational systems around the world.
Globalization has transformed the world economy and made it more interconnected, interdependent, competitive, and knowledge-based. Globalization in education seeks to interconnect teaching methods worldwide to encourage global access to education from primary to university levels and to develop students' multicultural awareness and prepare them for multinational careers. As education serves to promote global stability, globalization affects education through their shared goals of preparing students for successful futures in increasingly interconnected nations.
Globalization has transformed the world economy and made it more interconnected, interdependent, competitive, and knowledge-based. Globalization in education encourages international development by connecting teaching methods worldwide and prioritizing global access to primary, secondary, and university education to prepare students for multinational careers. As education is foundational to global stability, developing multicultural awareness from a young age can help students arrive at balanced conclusions on global issues and prepare them for increasingly connected futures. However, potential downsides include increased technological gaps between developed and developing countries, as well as opportunities for new forms of colonization through education.
Globalization has led to significant changes in education through increased capitalism, technology, and cultural blending. Capitalism and the free market have commoditized education and increased competition and specialization. Information technology has made education more effective by using multimedia and allowing online/distance learning, but has also increased demands for new technical skills. Globalization is homogenizing languages and demanding multilingual skills, while also leading to a cultural "curry" or blend. Education must recognize and accommodate this cultural diversity to promote social cohesion and peace in an interconnected world.
Globalization is impacting education in several ways. Technology is seen as equalizing educational opportunities worldwide by allowing access to information, but ensuring rural and impoverished students have resources remains a challenge. As the world becomes more interconnected through globalization, students must be prepared through their education to compete internationally and understand different cultures and languages. Educators face the task of incorporating new technologies, treating all students fairly, and adapting curricula to ensure student comprehension and participation in an increasingly globalized world.
The document discusses several challenges and issues regarding developing global competency in education. It argues that the most important priority is to clearly define what global competency means. Secondly, it stresses the importance of providing teachers training in how to teach from a global perspective in order to best prepare students. Using curriculum that incorporates a global perspective and real-world examples is also highlighted as a key factor. The document notes trends showing U.S. students lagging behind international peers in math and science and argues this puts Americans at a disadvantage in the global economy. It maintains that teaching students multiple languages would enhance their ability to engage in a global society.
1. The document discusses the need for educational leaders to shift higher education institutions to a new paradigm to address changing trends and ensure future quality and relevance.
2. It proposes developing students' contextualized multiple intelligences through globalization, localization, and individualization of education to prepare them for the future.
3. Educational leaders must embrace the "leapfrog theory" to continuously develop their competencies, rethink curriculum and systems, and build top-notch institutions that can adapt to dynamic environments through courageous change.
The document outlines various industries and careers that are involved in global engagement, including transportation, public services, marketing and sales, manufacturing, information technology, and others. It then provides information about virtual internship opportunities for students to work on real projects with Chinese companies through online collaboration and communication. The virtual internships would focus on four core tracks of global business management, marketing, supply chain management, and trade finance.
Globalization has impacted educational reform initiatives and practice in several ways:
1) It has led to increased standardization and universalization of education policies to meet global norms, as well as more diversity in policies to account for local contexts.
2) Major global conferences, like those focused on Education for All, have shaped education policies and goals for developing countries.
3) Concepts in education have been redefined due to globalization's influence, requiring new paradigms like Cheng's "Triplization Process" that emphasize globalization, localization, and individualization.

Indian higher education under globalizationRajesh Kochhar
Higher education is now classified as an internationally tradable service. However for historical, cultural and ideological reasons it is quite unlike others. Permitting foreign education providers to operate in India is not like permitting an insurance company or a department store. Similarly collaboration in education is not as simple as in telecom.
In India, all the social divides, disconnects, tensions and feelings of discomfort and mistrust that globalization has created or accentuated have become visible factors in discussions, debates, executive decisions as well as attempted or aborted legislative initiatives on education.
To sum up in advance, India’s own education is largely decoupled from quality and employability.
Government has abdicated its responsibility while privatization has brought about crass commercialization. Clamour for education from foreign providers has grown, but since this will help only a tiny fraction of population, the requisite political support is not forthcoming.
The document discusses global education and international education. Global education focuses on the interrelated nature of worldwide conditions, issues, trends, and events, while international education develops skills, knowledge, and attitudes for participation in a global community. Both aim to gain knowledge of world cultures, understand relationships between regions and peoples, and examine cultural differences in order to influence policies and behaviors that promote international understanding.
This document provides an overview of the International Commission on Education for the 21st Century. It lists the members of the commission and introduces the chairman, Jacques Delors. It then provides a brief outline of the contents of the commission's report to UNESCO, including its outlooks on moving from local to global communities, social cohesion to democratic participation, and economic growth to human development. The report also outlines its principles on the four pillars of education and learning throughout life. It concludes by providing directions on moving from basic education to university, the role of teachers, political choices for education, and international cooperation to educate the global village.
Globalization is increasing the integration of economies worldwide through greater trade, investment, and technology sharing, which is impacting education through greater internationalization, privatization, and an increased focus on workforce skills. Education systems will need reforms like updated curricula focused on productivity, as globalization constrains national policies while spreading cultural influences and creating economic inequalities across borders. The impacts of globalization on youth experiences through technology, social changes, and economic realities will shape needed roles for education to best prepare students for an interconnected world.

History of Christian Mission Education in NigeriaSaheed Jabaar
This document discusses the history of Christian missionary education in Nigeria between the 19th and 20th centuries. It outlines the objectives of the lecture, which are to discuss the factors that led Europeans to enter Africa, the activities of early Christian missionaries, and their contributions to Nigerian education despite problems. The first section summarizes the reasons for European entry as related to industrialization and the slave trade. It then discusses the first unsuccessful missionary experiment in the 15th century and more successful efforts in the 19th century when various missions established schools in the south. While missionary education faced issues like a lack of standards and financing, it ultimately helped introduce literacy, facilitate local language orthographies, and contribute to eradicating harmful practices in Nigeria.
This document discusses open education and teacher education in Nigeria. It defines open education as providing free and inclusive access to education without barriers. The evolution of teacher education in Nigeria is described, from early missionary efforts to the establishment of institutions like the National Open University of Nigeria. Teacher education aims to impart knowledge, skills, and attitudes to learners. For sustainable human development, teachers must continuously upgrade their skills and knowledge through opportunities provided by open education. Recommendations include improving teacher conditions, requiring continuous professional development, and establishing open education programs to strengthen higher education teaching.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Jabaar Saheed Olanrewaju at Northwest University in Kano, Nigeria. The presentation aimed to expose philosophical ideas that have shaped teaching methods, highlight the importance of linking theory to practice in teaching, and offer suggestions for developing a teaching philosophy. It analyzed key concepts like teaching and philosophy and examined philosophical orientations such as idealism, realism, pragmatism, and existentialism that have influenced how teachers approach their work. The presentation suggested that teachers develop an eclectic educational philosophy that borrows best practices from various philosophical traditions to suit their learners, subject matter, and available resources.

Repositioning Nigerian Education for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals: A postmodernist Perspective

2. Introduction
Problem statement
Modernism & Postmodernism
Basic assumptions of Postmodernism
Postmodernist view of education
Implications for Nigerian Education
Conclusion
Suggestions
3. Sustainable development (SD) is a global initiative
aimed at finding solutions to the challenges of
contemporary civilization . The challenges include:
- excessive consumption,
- greater access to information,
- big changeability around jobs and professions
- greater influence of media which creates artificial
reality and a growing crisis of identity
The SDGs like the MDGs recognises the important
role of education in the achievement of global
development.
4. Human Development index (HDI) for Nigeria stood at
0.514 which puts the country on the low human
development category (UNDP, 2015).
One of the reasons why Nigeria failed to achieve the
MDGs is lack human capital for implementation
(Oleribe, 2014).
Human capital development encompasses knowledge
acquisition, skill acquisition and inculcation of positive
and desirable values.
Excessively bookish nature and the question of
relevance poses a serious challenge to producing
youths who are equipped with knowledge, skills and
attitude to be creative and innovative to confront the
contemporary challenges facing the nation.
5. In the historical sense to indicate what follows the
medieval – that is, renaissance culture and its sequels.
The knowledge produced by science as truth and is
eternal
Reason is the ultimate judge of what is true
is fundamentally about order, rationality and
orderliness.
Totality, stability and order are maintained in modern
societies through the use of grand narratives or master
narratives.
Grand narratives are stories a culture tells itself about
its practices and beliefs.
6. It is often considered as a critique of or
reaction to modernism.
Morality and truth are constructed by society
Individuals are shaped by cultural forces
Rejection of individuality, that is, identity is
collective as people exist as members of a
group.
There is no universal humanity since every
culture constitutes it own reality
7. Postmodernism goes against grand
narratives.
it favours mini – narratives that explain small
practices, local events, rather than large scale
universal or global concepts.
It makes no claim to universality, truth,
reason, or stability.
Emphasis is on every culture and society
constituting its own reality
8. * knowledge should be functional, so educational
policy in contemporary times should put
emphasis on skills and training.
Electronic computer technologies has
revolutionized the modes of knowledge
production, distribution.
Knowledge is invented or constructed in the
minds of people.
Knowledge and ideas are created by people not
because they are true but rather because they
are useful.
9. Nigeria cannot be said to be well placed in a world
which is characterized by information explosion,
superlative use of science and technology and
information technology.
Achieving the SDGs is dependent on using focusing
on social - cultural development of the people.
Copying anything and everything from other
nations would not enable us to compete in the
global economy.
Need to look inwards to search and develop what is
uniquely ours in term of knowledge, skills,
technology as opposed to relying on what belongs
to others.
10. Technology transfer may not be applicable as it
used be as industrialized countries are now wise
Solution lies in reorganisation of our education to
make it more oriented towards development of
creativity and skills in harnessing indigenous
knowledge and technology for national
development.
11. It has been shown that while the SDGs may
appear incompatible with the spirit of
postmodernism, some aspects of postmodern
worldview can be useful in repositioning
education in Nigeria for relevance,
functionality and quality.
12. Academic subjects should be taught the
ground of their usefulness and what they have
to offer in enriching our contemporary life.
Nigerian education should not just include
computer literacy, but should be computer
based.
Indigenous knowledge and technology should
occupy a central place in what is learnt in
schools. education should prepare the young to
invent and construct new knowledge
