GCED help all age learners to realize and learn that how decisions made by other people affects
our lives and therefore emphasize that our own decisions too will impact others too. The three
domains of learning which includes cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural. By being more
cognitive, learners are more concerned in acquiring knowledge and understands issues happened
globally, thus learner feel connected to the world and enable to communicate and share their
ideas in this community economically and politically. In simple words, learners has an
understanding of how the world works. Through nurturing cognitive skill into learners, the process
of thinking and reasoning activity are more active into tackling into global water pollution issue.
Learners are aware of the issue and consequences of water pollution through information on the
social media, therefore they do not involved themselves into worsen the pollution but think of
ways to reduce water pollution. For example, they could pay attention to topics of water pollution
from the United Nations Environment Programme.

GCED also emphasize on socio-emotional skills in learners, nurturing their own personal respect
and respect for others, wherever they are. So that they are able to live together with others
respectfully and peacefully in this common humanity, most importantly respects and values
diversity. Learners which are self-respect and the sense of respect to others is more willing to act
to make the world a more equitable and sustainable place. Learners are willing to discuss topics of
water pollution with others and engaged themselves into group discussions into addressing the
water-related conflicts and disasters. Through group discussions, individual can realize that the
water pollution issue is concerned by everyone and is on an alarming state. Ways and ideas to
tackle water pollution is shared out among themselves and also participate themselves in
activities that show support in conserving and saving our water, for example joining the Cleanseas
campaign to commit themselves into reducing their plastic footprints at the ocean.

GCED is education for all. No matter what race or ethnicity, color, culture and status you are
included. It also promotes diversity and responsibility of everyone.
