What is Global Education?
Global Education seeks to develop students who are curious about the issues facing humanity. According to Asia Society students should develop skills in four main competencies:
1. Investigate the world beyond their immediate environment, framing significant problems and conducting well-crafted and age-appropriate research.
2. Recognize perspectives, others’ and their own, articulating and explaining such perspectives thoughtfully and respectfully.
3. Communicate ideas effectively with diverse audiences, bridging geographic, linguistic, ideological, and cultural barriers.
4. Take action to improve conditions, viewing themselves as players in the world and participating reflectively.

Fernando Reimers suggests the importance of global education in his 2016 article “Wrapping our Minds Around the World”:
"As teachers provide students the opportunities to understand globalization, how it shapes their lives, to develop the capacity to collaborate across all lines of difference to advance worthwhile purposes and to improve the world, students will recognize education as relevant to their lives, as a way to help them make sense of the world in which they live, and to find their voice in it."
