Economic and Political Issues
on Globalization
Economic Issues:
Harvard economist David Bloom
argues that because of globalization,
education is more important than ever
before in history.
He claims that growing world-wide
inequality indexed by increasing gaps
and income and well-being, generally
mimics a continuing and growing
global gap in education
Globalization and Education: An
Economic Perspective
According to bloom, the challenges
and opportunities brought about by
globalization include a more
competitive world economy, the
increasing importance of cross
national communication and the rapid
speed of change.
According to Howard Gardner ,
education should help students
synthesize information from a variety
of disciplines and geographies, so they
understand how economics inform
politics.
He also disparaged standardized
testing in its current form.
The broader economic effects of
globalization tend to force national
education policies into a neo-liberal
framework that emphasizes lower
taxes, shrinking the state sector and
doing more with less, promoting
market approaches to school choice,
rational management of school
organizations; performance
assessment and deregulation.
