Globalization has brought about significant changes in education policy and administration, with an increased focus on global competencies, curriculum diversification, technological innovation, internationalization, and accountability. These changes reflect the evolving needs of the global economy and the growing interconnectedness of the world.
You raised a very important topic to discuss. May I argue that the answer is a case - and context-dependent one:

Globalisation has had a significant impact on education policy and educational administration around the world. Here are some of the changes that have taken place in response to globalisation:
Increased emphasis on internationalization: Education systems around the world have become more focused on preparing students for a globalized world. This includes promoting cross-cultural understanding, language learning, and international exchange programs.
Shift towards market-driven education: Globalisation has led to the commodification of education, with a greater emphasis on competition and market-oriented approaches. This has led to the growth of private education providers and increased pressure to measure educational outcomes in terms of economic competitiveness.
Expansion of online learning: Advances in technology have made it easier for students to access education from anywhere in the world. This has led to an increase in online learning opportunities, which can be especially beneficial for students in remote or underprivileged areas.
Emphasis on lifelong learning: Globalisation has led to rapid changes in the job market, making it essential for individuals to continually update their skills and knowledge. As a result, there is an increased emphasis on lifelong learning and the development of skills that are transferable across different industries.
Greater collaboration between education systems: Globalisation has led to greater collaboration between education systems in different countries. This includes the sharing of best practices, the development of joint programs, and the promotion of international research collaborations.
Overall, globalisation has had a profound impact on education policy and educational administration, leading to changes in curriculum, teaching methodologies, and the way education is delivered and measured. As globalisation continues to shape the world we live in, it is likely that education systems will continue to adapt and evolve in response to these changes.
