Education for Global Citizenship
Education for Global citizenship is about bringing an international dimension into the classroom. The DfES has recently published a document called Putting the World into World-Class Education, highlighting the importance of teaching children to 'live in and contribute effectively to a global society', and the need for 'instilling a strong global dimension into the learning experiences of all children and young people'.
Education for global citizenship is not an addition subject to squeeze into a crowded timetable, but at the very heart of education, impacting the whole school ethos and curriculum.
Direct contact with a school in Uganda can enhance children's understanding, bring a wide range of issues to life and provide exciting opportunities for learning: 'Adding an international element to learning in schools can dramatically improve the quality of education.'
