What Is Globalization?
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people,
companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international
trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on
the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and
prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.
Globalization is not new, though. For thousands of years, peopleand, later,
corporationshave been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great
distances, such as through the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected
China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and
corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. In fact, many of the
features of the
current wave of
globalization are
similar to those
prevailing before
the outbreak of
the First World
War in 1914.

But
policy
and technological
developments of
the past few decades have spurred increases in cross-border trade, investment, and
migration so large that many observers believe the world has entered a qualitatively
new phase in its economic development. Since 1950, for example, the volume of world
trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment
nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion. Distinguishing this current wave of
globalization from earlier ones, author Thomas Friedman has said that today
globalization is farther, faster, cheaper, and deeper.
This current wave of globalization has been driven by policies that have opened
economies domestically and internationally. In the years since the Second World War,
and especially during the past two decades, many governments have adopted freemarket economic systems, vastly increasing their own productive potential and creating
myriad new opportunities for international trade and investment. Governments also

have negotiated dramatic reductions in barriers to commerce and have established

international agreements to promote trade in goods, services, and investment. Taking
advantage of new opportunities in foreign markets, corporations have built foreign
factories and established production and marketing arrangements with foreign partners.
A defining feature of globalization, therefore, is an international industrial and financial
business structure.
Technology has been the other principal driver of globalization. Advances in
information technology, in particular, have dramatically transformed economic life.
Information technologies have given all sorts of individual economic actors
consumers, investors, businessesvaluable new tools for identifying and pursuing
economic opportunities, including faster and more informed analyses of economic
trends around the world, easy transfers of assets, and collaboration with far-flung
partners.
Globalization is deeply controversial, however. Proponents of globalization argue
that it allows poor countries and their citizens to develop economically and raise their
standards of living, while opponents of globalization claim that the creation of an
unfettered international free market has benefited multinational corporations in the
Western world at the expense of local enterprises, local cultures, and common people.
Resistance to globalization has therefore taken shape both at a popular and at a
governmental level as people and governments try to manage the flow of capital, labor,
goods, and ideas that constitute the current wave of globalization.
To find the right balance between benefits and costs associated with
globalization, citizens of all nations need to understand how globalization works and the
policy choices facing them and their societies.

Globalization and its Impact on Education
When it comes to education, globalization is often identified with two implications:
educational quality and marketization. For many, globalization means an increasing
demand to quality education. This is because it is assumed that the available job market
is shared by people around the globe. Hence, the job market is ever increasingly
competitive. The competitive job market requires individual to possess the best
knowledge and skills for the position that they are looking for. Further implication to this
is that educational institutions are expected to provide quality education in order to help
their students succeed in the future.
Globalization has a wide ranging potential to in influence all sectors of
development. Besides its impact on the economic development. It also casts its shadow
on the system of education. The impact of globalization and the manner in which the
system should respond to the needs of globalization would require to be studied
basically under two broad heads, as follows: The needed reforms within the educational
system like content, equity, and excellence etc.; and The fall out of globalization.
But what are these needed reforms in education?
1. Content of Education
a. Curriculum Up-gradation
- the modern advances in information technology have
revolutionized among others, the content of knowledge and the
process of educational transaction.

- an education for globalization should nurture the higher-order

cognitive and interpersonal skills required for problem solving, problem
finding. These skills should be required of children and youth who will
fully engage the larger world that may results for betterment of society.
b. Productivity Orientation
- the basic objective of globalization is to enhance productivity and
to make the educational system an instrument in preparing students
who can compete in the world markets as productive members of the
society.
- An important feature of globalization in relation to education is the
need for producing higher quality manpower that can successfully face
competition in the world markets. This would imply selecting the best
human material and giving them education of the highest quality.
2. The Fall Out of Globalization
a. Internationalization of education
- This has become a worldwide phenomenon because of the entry World Trade
Organization (WTO) and the inclusion of educational services under the General
Agreement on Trade and Services (GATS) which has given a boost to the
internationalization of higher education.
- Education will improve if it is internationalized. It will provide global opportunities
and promote goodwill and will encourage exchange of scholars in other countries can
help in curriculum designing.
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.
- In order to be a part of globalization, the funds in the sector of education should
increase by the government for us to improve the high quality of education to the
responds to the needs of globalization.
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.

- it has also suggested that institutions beyond primary basic education should
increasingly depend upon tuition fees, the philanthropy of the general public, and the
industrial and commercial organizations, which should be allowed to set up, manage
and finance institutions of post elementary education.
Impact on Education:
It will mean or more competitive and deregulative educational system.
With more pressure on it to assure that the next generation of workers are prepared
for some amorphous job market of 21st century.
Educational system will increasingly provide the sites of struggle over the meaning and
power of national identity and a national culture.

ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) Blueprint
The APSC envisages to draw ASEAN towards a rules-based Community of
shared values and norms; a cohesive, peaceful, stable and resilient region with shared
responsibility for comprehensive security including a dynamic and outward-looking
region in an increasingly integrated and interdependent world. The full implementation
of this Blueprint is expected to bring about prosperity in the region and protects the
interests and wellbeing of ASEAN people. As the APSC Blueprint seeks to mainly
achieve an enhancement in political stability, democracy and good governance through
creating a just, democratic and harmonious environment, human rights are expectedly
apparent in this Blueprint. Respect for the promotion and protection of human rights and
fundamental freedoms is identified in this Blueprint as one of the main elements in
enhancing political development. As the rule of law embodies human rights, aspects of
human rights are more directly addressed under the first key characteristic which is A
Rules-based Community of shared values and norms. Under this key characteristic, the
APSC Blueprint lists a number of specific actions, which are to be undertaken by
ASEAN member states to promote and protect human rights. These actions, among
others, are to establish an ASEAN human rights body; to cooperate closely with efforts
of the sectoral bodies in the development of an ASEAN instrument on the protection and
promotion of the rights of migrant workers; to strengthen interaction between 4 the
network of existing human rights mechanisms as well as other civil society
organisations; to cooperate closely with sectoral bodies in the establishment of an
ASEAN commission on the promotion and protection of the rights of women and
children; and to promote education and public awareness on human rights. The second
key characteristic of the APSC, which is A Cohesive, Peaceful and Resilient Region

with Shared Responsibility for Comprehensive Security, also involves important human
rights issues. The human rights aspects addressed include trafficking in persons and
counterterrorism. Under combating trans-national crimes and other trans-boundary
challenges, the APSC Blueprint suggests actions such as strengthening criminal justice
responses to trafficking in persons and enhancing cooperation to combat peoplesmuggling. In undertaking these tasks, member states are guided to be mindful of the
need to protect victims of trafficking in accordance to the ASEAN Declaration against
Trafficking in Persons Particularly Women and Children. Counter-terrorism entails
intensifying efforts by early ratification and full implementation of the ASEAN Convention
on Counter-Terrorism.

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint

Despite lacking specific reference to human rights issues within the text of the ASEAN
Economic
Community (AEC) Blueprint, there are nevertheless indirect human rights implications.
As
mentioned earlier, among the four key characteristics identified in the AEC Blueprint is
a
region of equitable economic development. Recognizing the importance of equitable
economic development for all peoples, the actions under Initiative for ASEAN
Integration (IAI)
include human resource development, information and communication technologies,
capacity
building, poverty reduction and improvement in quality of life. In addition, in enhancing
the
food, agriculture and forestry trade, the health of the peoples is not forgotten, and in
fostering
a culture of competitiveness, consumer protection is strengthened through establishing
the
ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Consumer Protection and establishing a network of
consumer protection agencies to facilitate information sharing and exchange.
ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Blueprint
The ASCC is adopted to realize a people-oriented, socially responsible ASEAN
community with
the view of achieving solidarity, unity and a common identity as well as building a
sharing and

caring society. The characteristics envisaged in the ASCC Blueprint are human
development;
social welfare and protection; social justice and rights; ensuring environmental
sustainability;
building the ASEAN identity; and narrowing the development gap. All these issues,
except for
building the ASEAN identity, pertain directly to human rights.
As human rights issues in the ASCC Blueprint are numerous, only those important
human rights
issues pertaining to the enhancement of the wellbeing, livelihood and welfare of the
peoples of
ASEAN are highlighted.
A major human right element in the ASCC Blueprint is the enhancement of the
well-being and
livelihood of the peoples of ASEAN by providing them with equitable access to human
development opportunities by promoting and investing in education and lifelong
learning,
human resource training and capacity building (p. 2 ASEAN Socio-cultural
Community
Blueprint). This equitable access to human development is in accordance to the
Declaration of
the Right to Development adopted by the UN General Assembly on 4 December 1986
while the
right to education is enunciated in several human rights declarations and instruments
including
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 26), the International Convention on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Article 13), the Convention on the Rights of the
Child
(Article 28) and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women (Article 10). Three strategic objectives have been identified to achieve this
characteristic of the ASCC Blueprint, namely advancing and prioritizing education,
investing in
human resource development and promotion of decent work.
As regard to social welfare and protection, the ASCC Blueprint envisions to address
fully socioeconomic disparities and poverty by alleviating poverty and eradicating
extreme poverty and
hunger. This Blueprint also calls for access to primary healthcare of the vulnerable
groups/
people at risk.

This Blueprint specifically emphasizes the promotion and protection of the rights
and welfare of
disadvantaged, vulnerable and marginalised groups such as women, children, the
elderly,
persons with disabilities and migrant workers. The implementation of the ASEAN
Declaration on
the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers is set forth as a strategic
objective of the ASCC Blueprint to achieve this particular goal.
Promoting corporate social responsibility to ensure sustainable socio-economic
development in
ASEAN member states and fostering sustainability of water resources to ensure
equitable
accessibility and sufficiency of acceptable quality of water are aspects of human rights
incorporated in the Blueprint.
