The Future of Global Citizenship Education in a Rapidly Changing World
Keywords:
Education, Global Citizenship, The Future of educationAbstract
This article constitutes an academic discourse that consolidates educational paradigms aimed at fostering global citizenship education. Within the realm of significance, it delineates strategies for developing educational policies at national, local, and school levels, with the objective of contributing to sustainable global citizenship. The outlined conceptual framework does not espouse novelty but rather represents a paradigm that has been diligently integrated into curricular content for over two decades, striving towards transcultural and international endeavors. The endeavor seeks to cultivate peace-building on the foundation of comprehension and the sustainable stewardship of the environment. This conceptual framework emerges from the ethos of globalism, which interconnects diverse world regions into a cohesive entity, driven by a shared ethos. Additionally, the article expounds upon the roles of educational institutions and personnel as pivotal keys and core driving forces in advancing education for global citizenship. It draws insights from case studies showcasing successes in educational management from Singapore and Australia, countries characterized by considerable demographic diversity within their respective regions. Furthermore, it addresses the substantive content of educational management for global citizenship, critically examining obstacles and proposing policy-oriented recommendations for their pragmatic implementation to maximize benefits.
