12. Our world is changing!
How about Education?
Everyone acknowledges that the world has changed, that we
have moved into a global society. Traditional societies and
cultures are mixing and transforming as rejuvenated
civilizations clash. A paradigm shift is occurring as we re-
structure thinking and re-programme lifestyles from local to
global. Local economies are now part of the fabric of a global
economy. Educating students to become global citizens of this
vastly changed 21st century is now the major focus of educators
everywhere.
