theorists. Answer: .lo!ali(ation deals on economic policy grassroots circles and applications of
phenomena. ?ducation is at the center of uncharted continent. 8t started to consider how the
accelerating transnational dynamics are affecting education particularly pre-collegiate education.
8nstead educational systems worldwide continue mimicking and often mechanically copying from
each other and !orrowing curricula teaching methods and assessment tests. #he forces of
glo!ali(ation are ta$ing youth families and educations system worldwide. All social systems are
predicated on the need to impart %alues morals skills and competencies to the ne$t generation.
#he li%es and e$periences of the youth growing up today will !e linked to economic realities

!oundaries with e%er greater momentum. With the glo!al transformations it will re"uire youth to

economic realities and identities. .lo!ali(ation;s increasing comple$ity necessitates a new
paradigm for learning and teaching. #he mastery and mechanical regurgitation of rules and facts
should gi%e way to a paradigm in which cogniti%e and agility and fle$i!ility win the day. #he skills
needed for analy(ing and mo!ili(ing to sol%e pro!lems from multiple perspecti%es will re"uire
indi%iduals who are cogniti%ely fle$i!le culturally sophisticated and a!le to work colla!orati%ely in
groups made up of di%erse indi%iduals. E)u0"&io i( oe o1 &*e 1e4 1or0e( 4i&* &*e #o&e&i"% &o
