Overview
Education is no longer restricted by national boundaries, with countries around the globe experiencing the effects of globalisation on multiple levels. The needs from and of individual education systems has shifted significantly, as people move between and among national boundaries, using their skill sets in a range of contexts. These shifting needs compels a regular evaluation of educational provision, within schools, tertiary institutions and workplaces. Educational needs now meet universal demands, as individuals move across the globe, taking their skill and knowledge with them. This migration of skill forces educators to evaluate the current provision of teaching and learning programs, reflecting on how contemporary education can meet these changing demands. This unit firstly considers the fluid dynamics of a globalised approach to education, and subsequently explores whether contemporary education is indeed accommodating the needs of an increasingly globalised world.
