Forces of Globalization

Forces of globalization have acted on education internationally, creating greater standardization in norms of teaching and learning. There has always been considerable similarity between schools across context: the curriculum, for example, has been shown to be divided between language, mathematics, science, and the arts in a comparable way in schools around the world. Likewise, school buildings in terms of their architecture share remarkable similarities internationally, as a result of shared patterns of teaching and learning (although facilities and resources differ significantly).
