HOT TOPICS FROM HARVARD THINK TANK ON GLOBAL EDUCATION-AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

battleground where a teacher is a strategist. If the strategy is strong then half the battle is won. Previously, teachers were revered as masters of knowledge, teachers were the light that showed the path and teachers were apolitical. Cut to the present time, I say a teacher has to be a strategist because our job is not limited to the boundaries of our class. It has now moved from the confines of a classroom into the limitlessness of the human race. The question faced by the teaching community across the world is how to make our students ready to face the battles of the real world where the biggest ghost is Ignorance. It is this ignorance of people, ignorance of need for tolerance, ignorance towards rights of all people and ignorance towards need to treat people with dignity, ignorance regarding abuse of nature. Global education is not a new development, rather global problems are now unique and this requires better solutions. To quote Reimers, the co-chair of Harvard think tank conference held from 17th May to 18th May 2018, no government or agency has the power or the resources to address all of the issues in the world. This is why we must work together. If we don’t, it’s like “moving the chairs around on the Titanic.” The conference focused on what we need to invest in our students and into our classrooms to make them global students. This paper focuses on what makes a global learner. What defines global student?
