INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION CHANGING THE FUTURE OF CLASSROOM TEACHING
Education needs to be interesting, innovative and intriguing. Gone are the days when students were conditioned to be bookworms, completely engrossed and confined to the knowledge with the textbooks. The world is now at a different pace where the skills required to survive are constantly changing and renovating. To adapt to that change everything should acknowledge it and model itself accordingly. Education too needs to do just that. This would ensure the students have imparted skills that conform to the changing times. Education is at the forefront of global development and, with globalization making it easier than ever for families to move abroad for work and study opportunities, it’s easy to see the appeal of pursuing an international education.
The world of international education is a melting pot of individuals and learning with a global perspective ensures students are exposed to different cultures, ethnic groups, religions and languages, enriching society in the process and broadening the academic experience for everyone. In today’s fast-paced globalizing world, International school education has become crucial for various reasons. Most importantly, it is to enhance the education of students with a global perspective. It also, of course, establishes a multicultural learning environment which makes it the ideal setting for increasing students’ cultural awareness and fostering their understanding and appreciation of those who come from a different background to their own.
Asia is now a rising star in international education, thanks to the rapid growth of English-medium internationals schools in the region. International schools represent a phenomenon that is able to take the lead in setting an example to educate students toward international-mindedness, through an education that reduces ethnocentrism, increases knowledge of other cultures, and promotes a concern for global environmental issues.
Students in today’s international schools, growing up to be global leaders of the future, will require a remarkable insight into people and cultures across the world, and an unprecedented concern for the well-being of the world community. Around the world, many educational systems are gearing themselves toward catering to a greater global consciousness. Let’s take a look at how internationalism is embedded
