THE GLOCAL PERSPECTIVE

Education and teaching need to learn pupils and

society to deal with future challenges. The
challenges faced today are both of global and local
character. The relation between the global and local
can be described as a “Glocal” perspective.
Glocalization in Oxford Dictionary of New Words
Defines the word glocal and glocalization as a
blending of global and local conditions a global
outlook adapted to a local condition and a local
condition to global perspective
GLOBAL VILLAGE

THE GLOBAL AND GLOCAL TEACHER
EDUCATION
UNESCO defines global education as a goal
to develop countries worldwide and is aimed
at educating all people in accordance with
world standards.
THE GLOBAL AND GLOCAL TEACHER
EDUCATION
Another definition is that the global
education is a curriculum that is
international in scope which prepares today’s
youth around the world to function in one
world environment under teachers who are
intellectually, professionally and
humanistically prepared
THE GLOBAL AND GLOCAL TEACHER
EDUCATION
UNESCO’s Education 2030 Incheon

FROM GLOBAL TEACHER TO GLOCAL
TEACHER PROFESSIONALS
On the other hand, glocal education is about
diversity, understanding the differences and
teaching the different cultural groups in their
own context to achieve the goals of global
education as presented by the United
Nations. It responds to borderless education
that defies distance and geographical
location.

who is competent and armed with enough
skills, appropriate attitude and universal
