Abstract
Policymakers, business leaders, journalists, and parents in the United States have all called upon schools to better prepare students for success in a global world. Frequently, attempts to inject global education into public schools have been framed with the idea of global competencies for students. The term ‘global education competencies’ seems to be associated with both traditional liberal (e.g. Parker 2008) and neoliberal agendas for education. On the one hand, the neoliberal notion of global education is rooted in ideas of economic advancement and global competitiveness for U.S. interests (Friedman, 2005).
