The effects of globalization on education bring about fast expansions in technology

and communications are anticipating changes within learning systems across

the world as ideas, values,

and knowledge, changing the roles of students and teachers and producing

change in society from industrialization towards an information-based society.

while at the same time producing graduates who are responsible adults, good citizens both of their country and of the world.

In the 21st century, education systems deal with the twofold challenge of providing students with the new

knowledge, skills and values needed to be competitive in a global market

Thus globalization challenges us to rethink not only how much education is needed

but also its ultimate purposes.

The notion of globalization and its relation to education is widely being discussed among politicians, philosophers, scholars, educators and students throughout the world. Some fully reject and refuse to accept this phenomenon, others try to understand and accept this notion, and still others completely accept the idea of globalization and associate with it all progressive changes in the new century’s socio-cultural and educational space. Moreover, for a considerable part of the planet’s residents the very spirit of the terms “globalism” and “globalization” still remains an unknown, enigmatic, almost supernatural entity.

The contemporary globalizing era is characterized by pervasive events making a considerable effect on human development, human consciousness and on various aspects of education and child development. These events include: (1) the unprecedented emergence and dissemination of information and knowledge;

(2) the digitization of information and virtualization of objective reality;

(3) the spreading of the English language as an essential global tool for education and international communication;

(4) the dissemination of the ideas of global and multicultural education;

(5) demographic growth;(6) the spreading of the cultural and educational standards.

Developing country like the Philippines , is one of the countries in Asia where the country has been effected by globalization. The country is taking part in the process of globalization ever since the country signed agreements with WTO (World Trade Organization) in 1995.

Since then, the nation had hope for WTO to bring developments within the nation’s poor economy and also to have a role within the global efficiency and trade. Now, globalization is very effective in the Philippines, it has allowed major changes in the nation like more labor, and more Filipino and foreign companies has emerged in the nation in order to help the country’s developing economy.

Generally, the Philippines is one of the developing countries that is rapidly dealing with globalization ever since the influence of the US during the World War II..

The country had high levels of education and English literacy due to the influence of Uncle Sam, decent savings rates, and an export-oriented agricultural sector that generated more than sufficient foreign exchange. The industrial sector was growing rapidly and the country had one of the highest per capita incomes in Southeast Asia.

Globalization can make the Philippines into a better nation if the Philippine leaders to make their economy more advance through global trading and allowing more foreign investors to the help boost the economy.

And by accomplishing those goals, the Philippines should be able to reduce the poverty level as well as increase labor force for job opportunities for those that are in need for a living.

However, since the poverty level is still increasing, most Filipinos has managed to find work overseas and they have managed to seek better living than in the Philippines.

The most effective factor in the Philippines is education. The society’s mentality is to be educated and it’s with education that people in the nation see their opportunity for a better life in the future.
