Preprint International Education. Part 1-The School
In an interview with Time magazine, Peter Drucker, one of America's foremost management theorists, when asked "What kind of a century are we in, then?" responded: "In this 21st century world of dynamic political change, the significant thing is that we are in a post-business society. Business is still very important, and greed is as universal as ever; but the values of people are no longer business values, they are professional values. Most people are no longer part of the business society; they are part of the knowledge society.
The greatest changes in our society are going to be in education." When the journalist later suggested whether the world of the 21st century would be characterized by the competition among the three great trading blocks - Europe, North America, and Asia --Drucker answered: "Yes, and the activities of three big trading blocs will have political consequences. I think we are already in the midst of this, and the pattern is not going to be fair trade or protectionism but reciprocity." When asked: "Do you think we and our institutions are ready to cope with what you call "new realities"? Drucker affirmed: "Many are still stuck in the world of 1960. What we face now is totally new and dynamic -and we are quite unprepared for it."
Nazia Asad I believe that both can co-exist and people have the choice. International education is more adequate for students that want to do a degree or work out of their native country.
I agree with you respected Artur Victoria; but my point of view is that Aga Khan university of Pakistan is all established according to international standard, our curriculum, evaluation, programs are all in accordance with Canada, America, Australia and many more. Again, if I have native institutions like that who are compatible to international standards, then what is the difference and (all higher education is a mess around the globe; sorry for exaggeration). One more important point, role of internet and information and communication technology can serve the purpose through teaching me while sitting in my native country and studying from expert like you ; what do you think?
Many students emigrated abroad to study and learn .... I agree with you Dr. Artur
Best regards
international schools gives high quality of learning but unfortunately the national schools do not affiliate the international schools.
Education will always be primarily national, namely on the appropriation of the culture of one's own country and its tradition. This does not exclude international references at all, as they are common today - through student exchange, cultural exchange in areas such as theatre, music, art, sport. Friendship treaties. However, there are also private schools that have a special curriculum for international relations.
Studying abroad exposes a student. Locally student is familiar to the environment so he can solve local problems.
