A Case for 21st Century Education:
|
In a rapidly changing world, where education systems, political decisions, and the adult workforce are all dependent on global interactions, our students must be prepared. Our world is changing at an unprecedented pace and our students will need a new set of skills to succeed To prepare our students, lessons must foster 21st century skills, like critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity: these skills will be essential for students to take on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GLOBAL EDUCATION
Global education is not a new term, but carries an increasing importance as the world becomes more interconnected. Global ed describes an innovative way to incorporate multiple perspectives and higher level critical thinking skills into your classroom. It involves promoting students' understandings of various cultures and communities, as well as fostering strong communication skills to be successful in a changing and demanding workforce.
Empowering girls
Access to education shouldn’t be determined by a child’s gender, yet 130 million girls globally are out of school and 15 million girls of primary school age will never even enter a classroom. Educating girls gives them the freedom to make decisions to improve their lives, which has deep social implications.
