impacts of globalisation on education

what is said about increased migration

• increased migration has made education more multicultural- all schools teach about the 6 world religions and there are more muslim/jewish faith schools

• EAL departments in schools have gotten bigger because they’ve had to respond to high intakes of polish students

what is the prevent scheme

• aims to tackle issues with mainly fair right or islamic extremist students → teachers are trained to spot the signs of these beliefs and can offer support for the brainwashed students in the groups

what is said about increased cultural globalisation

• challenges the relevance of the national curriculum as how can we have a nation state if the culture we live in is much more global

• this means the type of history and literature taught are also questioned

what does Beck say about society

• we live in a risk society due to the globalisation of education- there is no value consensus, making belief and values fragmented- individuals are free to pursue selfish features

• the need for schemes such as Prevent are examples of a risk society
