Ohmae - hyper globalist
believes that globalisation has had a positive impact on the education system. They see globalisation as leading to students seeing themselves as global citizens, which in turn is creating greater tolerance, and respect for differences in culture, and religion.
They also believe that technological developments, have given students greater access to information, leading to higher educational achievement and more critical thinking.
joel spring - marxist (globalisation education)
the educational agenda is being set by the global corporations, which is creating a digital divide between students who have access to technology, and those that don’t.
He also states that this is disempowering teachers, whose expertise are being overlooked in favour of these global corporations, who are looking to sell products to schools. An example of this could be the introduction of interactive whiteboards.
