At the end of this chapter, you will be
able to:
*Understand at least two global issues in
society.
* Apply solution on the current global issues
and;
* illustrate current global issues and how to
address it.
Global
 Pertaining to the entire globe rather
than a specific region or country. Often
use interchangeably with the term
international.
Issues
 A subject or problem that people are
thinking and talking about.
 A subject that people discuss or agued
about, especially relating to society,
politics and etc.
School
 A school is a place where children are
educated.
 A school is a place where children learn
enough worthwhile, things to make a
strong start in life, where a foundation
is laid that supports later learning, and
where children develop the desire to
learn more.
Society
 A society is the people who live in a
and their way of life.
 A system of human organizations,
generating distinctive cultural patterns
and institutions and usually providing
protection, security, continuity and
national identity for its member.
Global Issues
 Is any issue that adversely affects the
global community and environment
such as environmental issues, political
crisis, social issues and economic crises
Role of School
 According Matthew Lynch (2015)
Schools can play a significant role in the
general improvement of their
respective communities, and can
operate as a major platform for
enhancing child welfare in the
community. Schools have played a
significant role in helping communities
evaluate issues concerning child welfare
and eliminating situations that impede
children’s progress.
Role of Society
 Societies are the most inclusive and
complex social organisations in today’s
world. Most other organizations exist
within the confines of a society, all
aspects of human social life are
encompassed by a society, and to a
large extent the way in which a society
functions will influence all the patterns
of social ordering and cultural ideas that
comprise it.

being for all at all ages How They Can be addressed
1) ClimateChange
The global temperatures are rising, and
 are estimated to increase from 2.6
degrees Celsius to 4.8 degrees Celsius
by 2100. This would cause more severe
weather, crises with food and resources
and the spread of diseases. The
reduction of greenhouse emissions and
the spreading of education on the
importance of going green can help
make a big difference. Lobbying
governments and discussing policies to
reduce carbon emissions and
encouraging reforestation is an
effective way of making progress with
climate change.
2) Pollution
Pollution includes ocean litter,
pesticides and fertilizers, air, light and
noise pollution. Clean water is essential
for humans and animals, but more
than one billion people don’t have
access to clean water due to pollution
from toxic substances, sewage or
industrial waste.
3) Violence
Violence can be found in the social,
cultural and economic aspects of the
world. Whether it is conflict that has
broken out in a city, hatred targeted at
a certain group of people or sexual
harassment occurring on the street,
violence is a preventable problem that
has been an issue for longer than
necessary.
Various forms of Violence
 Physical Violence – occurs
when someone uses a part of
their body or an object to
control a person’s actions
 Sexual Violence – occurs when
a person is forced to unwillingly
take part in sexual activity
 Emotional Violence – occurs
when someone says or does
something make a person feel
stupid or worthless
 Psychological Violence – occurs
when someone uses threats
and causes fear in an individual
to gain control
 Spiritual Violence – occurs
when someone uses an
individual’s spiritual beliefs to
manipulate, dominate or
control that person.
 Cultural Violence – occurs
when an individual is harmed as
a result of practices that are
part of her or his culture,
religion or tradition.
4) Security and Well Being
The U.N. is a perfect example of
preventing the lack of security and well
being that is a serious global issue.
Through its efforts with regional
organizations and representatives that are
skilled in security, the U.N. is working
toward increasing the well being of people
throughout the world.
5) Lack of Education
More than 72 million children throughout
the globe that are of the age to be in
primary education are not enrolled in
school. This can be attributed to inequality
and marginalization as well as poverty.
Fortunately, there are many organizations
that work directly with the issue of
education in providing the proper tools
and resources to aid schools.

Introduction
Education is a basic right for all children
around the world, yet in the developing
world there are almost two billion
children, most of which are not receiving
an a proper education, or any education at
all. According to the Global Fund for
Children one in five children, 120 to 125
million children, are not enrolled in school.
Of those who do receive an education,
mostly in the developing world, one in five
will not make it past the fifth grade. The
lack of education for much of the world’s
children is of grave concern, and continues
to impact not only the life’s of the children
themselves, but the development and
progress of entire nations. If a large
majority of countries children are not
educated, the prospect of the future
business, political, religious and
government leaders of is marred for many
generations.
As a world community we are fighting
poverty, disease, war, child labor, child
soldiers, human slavery, trafficking, and so
much more, yet our biggest fight and the
root of so many issues is a lack of
education. Children and adults who are
illiterate or uneducated are more
susceptible for victimization and therefore
decrease life expectancy.
The lack of education in the developing
world means more than just another
generation of illiterate children, who will
enter into the same cycle as their parents.
This is a generation of children who will
continue into a life of poverty, with no real
tools to fight the cycle that plagues their
families and villages. Children do not go to
school, or our pulled from school, for a
number of reasons, however the largest is
that children are used to assist the families
and work. It must be clearly understood
that while many children are forced to
work in horrid child labor conditions, much
of which is child slavery, many are working
alongside their families in the fields or
home.
The problem with education in poorer
countries is not only a lack of funding for
education, but also a lack of infrastructure,
so therefore while basic education may be
mandatory in many countries; the quality
of education is far from adequate. As the
educational demands around the
industrialized nations increase, the
developing world is falling even farther
behind. With a the basic educational needs
of children so often not met, children are
not being given a fighting chance at
breaking the cycle of poverty, disease,
abuse, war, and so much more. Education
is more than an escape, it is a fundamental
right, and we must work together to
ensure that all of the world’s children
receive a basic education. However we
must not stop with basic education, we
must work to ensure that children have
the opportunities to obtain all levels of
education, and close the educational gap
between the unindustrialized and
industrialized countries. Children are our
world’s most valuable resources, and
therefore we must make substantial
investments into developing those
resources (Cassandra Clifford
foreignpolicyblogs.com,2007)
I. Statement of the Problem
Our topic is all about on global issues that
school must concerned about. The world has
become a global village and so the Filipino has
become a global citizen. It is not enough that
the Filipino citizen is concerned only with local
issues but also with global issues.
Major Problems:
• What are the reasons why student are
lacking of Education?
• How lack of education affects one's
country
Minor Problems:
• The number/percentage of lack of
education issues/cases globally.
• How economic status affects students?
Lacking in Education is one of the major
problems around the globe. As we all
know education is the most important
thing in life, as it shapes our future.
Though the global literacy rate is continue
to rise and grown up 4% each period,
There are millions of children around the
world that are unable to attend school for
a multitude of different reasons. Can’t
even learn the basic literacy and numeracy
skills. One of the reason is the financial
status though there’s some children that
have a school available to them but still
face difficulties like lack of teachers, not
enough textbooks and chairs and have
enough facilities for children.
