systems worldwide.
All social systems are predicated on the need to impart values, morals, skills and
competencies to the next generation.
The lives and experiences of youth growing up today will be linked to economic
social processes, technological and media innovations, and cultural flows that traverse
national boundaries with ever greater momentum.

of what most educational systems can now deliver.

Education will improve if it is internationalized, and healthy competition take place.
It will provide global opportunities and promote goodwill and will encourage
exchange of scholars.
b. Finance-related issues
In order to be part of global configuration, the requirement of funds for social
services including education will increase manifold.
For this purpose, it will be necessary to augment government funding for these
sectors.
c. Privatization of secondary and higher education
As corollary to the suggestions about reducing public investment in secondary and
higher education, a plea has been made to hand over these sectors to private bodies.
Furthermore, globalization can lead to unregulated and poor quality higher
with the worldwide marketing of fraudulent degrees or other so-called higher education
credentials.
