Hi! Well.... my understanding is that globalization in education means doctrinate a lot of people with things that dont make any sense to them. No roots, no use.
This little story about American Indian Communities:
----------------------------------------------
Education has had a strong impact on American Indian communities. A major influence on the changes in Indian communities was education by the Catholics. The church had a strong influence. It brought several languages and stories of salvation and resurrection. We Indians already had our own stories for that type of thing. For Indians, spirituality was a way of life, not a denomination such as Roman Catholic or Presbyterian.
Boarding schools and urbanization has created a situation in which most of the younger generations have been educated in non-Indian educational systems. In reflecting on the impact of educational systems on American Indian ways of life, Dan relates a story. He says:
There is a story about an educator out east who asked a chief for ten people from his tribe to come attend the university. The chief then sent ten of his people to the university. Twice the educator asked the chief for ten people and the chief sent ten people both times. The third time the educator asked the chief for ten more people. The chief said to him, “You send me ten. The twenty I sent you forgot how to live. They’re useless.”

thank you for your opinion...
but are you saying that education is worthless and useless to our life, that it cannot change your life?
i think education is a necessity nowadays. without education, we won't survive in this fast-changing world.
and another thing is what do you mean by "no root, no use"?
what is the "root" you are talking about? culture?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I really like the story you brought AUGUSTO
well, I have had a conversation with my cousin & she stated a point that makes much sense: in the current school system we will only learn what it takes to maintain the societal structure.......... we learn what they want us to learn and believe what they want us to believe therefore they are recruiting us to supply their future need of the greedy corporate machine............. we are so drilled to thinking formal education is a must and privilege that we forgot how to think for ourselves and embrace the infinite possibilities that our mind can conceive.................. I must admit that I am also still stuck in this murderous machine, yet I must keep this in mind and encourage myself to be and think for myself, for we have many examples of people who are successful w/o formal education........... I guess we must trust our abilities and trust the CREATOR in us since it just wants to recognize itself in our actions

Please, we need to understand this very fact that our coming together here on net is through education.
Eduction is the link between today and tomorrow of every individual. Don't also forget that anybody that stop learning stop growing.
Thanks.

Friends,education is worth to provide a platform for human development and destruction.Therefore, depending on the application of information and knowledge that one has acquired,enviroment and guidance.Education can either be said to be useful or worthless for life.For instance as already mentioned by one of the colleagues,we are interacting because we are knowledgeble about the resources if TIG,computers....while millions of our friends are in unfortunate circumstances that they have neither used to touched a computer.On the contrary, some people who are so called educated are causing discomfort to the global peace like causing wars,frauds and other ills.So depending from which school of idealogies one is coming from the merits out weight the demerits.Therfore, moderate education and knowedge should be made available to an average citizen.But if you are one of the richest pals you would always hide knowledge from others so that your tactics are not exposed.
All in all,the future of eradicating poverty lies in the disclosure of knowledge to humanity from the most high God and as such when the poor shall have full education will it be regarded useless.

globalization in education is important i suppose, as to be educated now days doesn't end at the basic sciences or so on, the history & other subject has to invovle the world & not only the country we belong too, as nowadays we became citizens of the world & not just citizens of our own country, thus we must be informed properly about other countries..
abt the qoute i supppose it means that globalization would make education more broadthus having no one ministry or country controlling it & that might mean the lose of the countries own roots, thus loosing the syudents identity.. i don't really gree as i thik the school it self must be able to give the student his sense or identity & belonging to his country & teach him abt his roots & then educate him how he is a part of this world & here comes the globalization..

"globalization in education results to borderless ness at the expense of rootless ness" what can you understand from this quote? how can globalization affect education in the future, the future teachers and the global society?
I agree with a lot of what many of you are saying. To Augusto, I'm not a Native American but I am an activist for Native American rights. It is horrible what happened in the past. But, that was forced assimilation. For the most part, the teachers were not trying to educate the young Indian children in universal studies such as math and science but they were educating them in the "white" way-trying to assimilate the children and force them to abandon their traditional ways. They hoped that the children would go back and teach their tribes the "white" ways.
That's an example of education that eliminates one's roots/cultural identity and traditions but it should not be like that.
I don't think that formal education is necessary for all people. There are plenty of people who retain their culture's long standing traditions and remain in tribes and such and for them, formal education might not be important. However, teaching people the basics such as math and science would not be devastating. People should not use their teaching powers to impress their own beliefs on their students but should teach them to think for themselves and open their minds to all the possibilities open to them. Like Kshampongo said, some educated people have used their education for bad but, that is not the main goal of the majority. It's people like us who can make sure the right things are taught and that people are not being oppressed but allowed to pick and choose for themselves what they believe in, etc. while at the same time, still receiving education in the fundamental subjects that are agreed upon world wide.

Export education is changing the face of China & Asia

With more & more Western educated talents joining the government of Hong Kong, Taiwan & China. The region is changing face. It oso goes with the popularity of study overseas in the Chinese community.
There r lots of complains about Chinese human right, democracy & social problems but more & more Chinese receive western education with definately make differences in the future generations of officials, let them equip will better knowledges & attitude to tackle the problems. Even there r some young Asian overseas students hv trouble with the law, I think they r still good to learn lessons of law & order from the police & the western justice system. Oso there r more Indian & middle East ppl studies in the western world.
Export education system oso help western nation to recruit the right overseas talents to join the country's workforce (pick the right migrants). Wealthy overseas students & their parents oso give financial supports to universities & schools.
Globalization in edcation is playing a critical part as a platform for every culture & races meet & learn from each other. Globalization in edcation will greatly contribute to world peace.
