Course Description
This course has been designed to introduce students to some of the key themes and critical issues in international educational development. It is widely understood that the forces of globalization are profoundly changing the experiences and opportunity structures of young people in an increasingly interdependent world. Yet, while there is a growing recognition that the knowledge-based global economy requires a new paradigm for education in the 21st century, a significant number of children and adolescents in the world remain vulnerable, disengaged, and disenfranchised from education. Against this backdrop, the course will examine the social, political, economic, and cultural forces that keep children excluded from schools and learning in different parts of the world. The syllabus embodies an intersectional framework – where thematic domain-specific issues will be explored in conjunction with socio-cultural and historical contexts. Through the readings, assignments and discussions in the course, students would be able to: analyze critical policy choices for educational equity and develop a systems perspective and examine issues shaping education in their interconnectedness - both globally and locally. Learning about the global to interrogate and act innovatively at the local is an overarching objective of this course. The collaborative, cross-continental GLOBALED learning experience will not only encourage asking “why” but will normalize asking “why not”.
