and dealing with an increasingly international labor
pool.

Globalization and Its Impact on Education
The broader economic effects of globalization
tend to force national educational policies into
a neo- liberal framework (seek progress by
more pragmatic methods)
Promoting market approaches to school
choice; rational management of school
organization; performance assessment and
deregulation in order to encourage new
provider (including online providers) of
educational services.
Educational System worldwide often mechanically
copying from each other’s educational system and
borrowing curricula, teaching methods and
assessment tests.
All social systems are predicated on the need to
impart values, morals skills and competencies to
the next generations.
Education will need to restructure the curriculum
to best prepare their graduates to be ready to face
globalization’s new challenges, trends and
opportunities.
According to Knight;
“Globalization of higher education is the flow
of dominant technology and knowledge
across borders, while ‘internationalization of
higher education’ is one of the ways a country
responds to the impact of globalization , yet
at the same time respect the individuality of
the nation.”
In the modern era, global economy is very
much dependent on the advanced technology,
where considerable emphasis is placed on the
contribution made by human resources, or you
can say the human capital, to economic growth.
The principle is that the relative contribution of
every individual to the economic growth depends
on their human capital – the education,
knowledge, skills, competencies and other
attributes that are relevant to economic activity.
