Global education is all about diversity and the goal of global education is for us to understand the
differences and teach the different cultural groups. It is for the development of not just the educational
system here in the Philippines but also in other countries worldwide to produce educated people with
the certain WORLD STANDARDS.

Global education is always attached with global teachers. They are the people involved in making the
global education possible. But who are global teachers?
