“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” These are words spoken by Nelson Mandela that I strongly agree with.

With an increase in student mobility around the world, there are many positive outcomes related to learning a different set of education from their home country and obtaining intercultural experiences with a global mindset. On the other hand, students may struggle with different challenges, which they may have unexpected to encounter.

Over a period of year’s education has grown to be very important to many cultures all over the world. At one time in many cultures children were only taught what was necessary to get along and sometimes only children of the wealthy would be taught. China’s government

The integration of global competencies into CTE programs of study is a natural one. CTE students are learning valuable skills related to the program’s industry; and students in the ISSN network, as discussed earlier, are using deeper analytic skills to research and address issues of global significance. Research in both areas demonstrates that engagement in real‐world learning on issues of global significance leads to persistence and higher achievement. To combine CTE with the methods and strategies of a globally focused education is a powerful way to engage, motivate, and ultimately ensure that students graduate from high school with the skills needed to succeed in the interconnected environment in which they will be living and working. Increasing numbers of careers are requiring global competency, facility with world languages and cultures, and the ability to work in global teams. At a fundamental level, CTE’s role is to prepare students for successful careers, and quality CTE programs should provide opportunities for students to learn and apply global competencies in order for students to successfully participate in the Am Rapid economic, technological, and social changes are

In the book, Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon? : Why China Has the Best (and Worst) Education System in the World, published by John Wiley & Sons on August 14, 2014, the author, Yong Zhao, states that while China gets the highest test scores on the PISA exam, parents in China often send their children to western schools. In short Yong Zhao, a Chinese native who was born in Sichuan, claims that Western countries, Britain and America, should not try and adopt China’s education system for many reasons. I my opinion this book did not seem important to pre-service teachers, but after further thought and reading, I conclude that this book is valuable to not only pre-service teachers, but to anyone that is involved in education because it provides reasons why we should not try to adopt China’s education system.

In “How to Raise a Global Kid”, by Lisa Miller, Miller claims the task facing American kids who must share a global understanding in order to strive in today’s worldwide economies. The right time for kids to study another language has been a question since the world started thinking about worldwide opportunity, especially in nations whose main language is not English. Raising a global kid is about helping children be well-educated and efficient globally. Global kids have a better ability to understand us than we have of understanding them and of course there are probably more Chinese living in the United States than Americans are living in China. Lisa Miller believes there are three areas in helping children successfully: learning a foreign language, embrace world music, and learn different cultures to be able to live in a global economy.

The Chinese government set up a wide system of primary schools. For the first time in all of China’s history the majority of the population received a complete basic education. Even though the government’s “Great Leap Forward” program didn’t put

Each country has its own kind of education, and education always plays an important role in affecting students’ life and study on many aspects. Having received ten years of education in China and two years of education in the U.S. I would like to compare and contrast a few significant aspects of these two different kinds of educations. Knowing that no two education systems are the same, the differences between American education and Chinese education allow countries to take the essence and discard the dross through learning from each other so as to improve their own current education systems.

To prepare for UIC, I acquired a multi-language skill with a global mindset. First off, as an International Baccalaureate student, I took English, Korean and Chinese courses, which allowed me to attain high scores in HSK and TOFEL. Secondly, I was actively engaged in ‘Global Issue Network’, a school club that researched about major global issues. To inform the community of major global trends,

The differences between the Chinese education and the American education are more obvious in people’s mind, not only to the international students, but also to the native students and some people who study on this. As more and more Chinese students come to America to have better education, we should think about why the American education system is better and how could we change our system to have a new education system in China. These differences have some deeply reason, like the American is the nation which loves freedom. It took long time to make such a big difference between the two education systems, and we need longer time to change it. An undeniable

The role educators, play in the development of global citizens is the values and attitudes they bring to the classroom as this relates to the component of human behaviour, teachers values, attitudes and beliefs can influence and benefits students own values, attitudes and beliefs (Marsh 2008). Teachers “Incorporate global and multicultural perspectives into their teaching, thereby engaging all students in their learning” (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, 2009, p.8). In addition teachers maintain a safe and inclusive classroom in which learning is for all and students are treated with respect, regardless of their culture or
