  2. 2. The Fall Out of Globalization

  3. a. Internalization of Education Implicit in the system of globalization is the inevitability of the internationalization of the educational system, particularly at the higher education stage Education will improve if it is internationalized and healthy competition takes place.

  4. b. Finance-related issues In order to be a 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.

  5. c. Privatization of Secondary and Higher Education As a 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.

  6. Education as a service industry is part of globalization process under the umbrella of General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) There is, however a distinct possibility that this might:

  7. “Force countries with quire different academic needs and resources to conform to structures inevitably designed to service the interest of the most powerful academic systems and corporate educational providers breeding inequality and dependence.” (Altbach, 2002)

  8. Further, “globalization can lead to unregulated and poor quality higher education with the worldwide marketing of fraudulent degrees or other so-called higher education credentials.” (World Bank’s Task Force, 2000)

  9. “It will mean a more competitive and deregulated educational system modeled after free market but with more pressure on it to assure that the next generation of workers are prepared for some amorphous job market of 21st century. It will also mean that the educational system will increasingly provide the sites of struggle over the meaning and power of national identity and a national culture. Schools will no doubt also be sites of various counter-hegemonic movements and pedagogies.” (Wells, et. Al. 1998)

  10. Any thoughtless entry into the global educational market can end up in harming the interests of students for generations to come.
