I would simply define Global Education as the guidance
and steering of young global citizens, through opportunities of applying core
theoretical basic knowledge (Language, Science, Math, So-Science, Art, Music
etc.) so that they can see the inter-dependencies between theory and practice.
While doing this they are motivated and encouraged to be truly “Diverse and
Inclusive” in how they interact in the global society so that they not only
preach but actually practice sustainable
development on the pillars of environmental protection, human rights, peace and
democracy…. Global education means well rounded global citizens who value the
world they live in and co-exist with other humans & animals with respect
and peace.

What is education…..is what they always ask,
To read and write or to gain a degree, by
completing difficult tasks.
To know what I know or to know what I should,
are the questions, that my mind & heart always
ask,
And the search for the answers showed me the light,
in the dark.
The power to realize what lies inside,
The power to abide, with the veracious thinking of mind,
The power to grow and let others grow alongside,
Is what education did to me, as an impeccable guide.
As the sculptor uses his tools, to bring a dead rock to life,
Education gives me a Reason, a Meaning and a Purpose,
In this journey…
…A journey in the circle of life.

"The purpose of education is to provide our children holistic growth to make them better
individuals that are able to contribute to society and the world as a whole.
While academic excellence is important I think the values that we learn at
school and home make us what we really are. "

Education is a continuous and an empowering process that strengthens
children so that they can easily learn to deal with the various challenges they
will face in life. It focuses on developing and bringing out the best of the
student’s inner personality without neglecting the outer and material aspects.
This includes the right attitude ( as one’s attitude determines one’s
altitude in life), wisdom for timely action, the eagerness to develop one’s
passion, analytical thinking, in both personal as well as social life..in short
it’s all about self-cultivation.
Besides this to be perfect in education, one has to make a meaningful
contribution to society and the Country.

Develop the intellectual quotient of the person in such a manner that
he can make the optimum utilization of his talent in the field he has strength
and interest in. I as a child took lot of time to identify what is right for me
and what I am made for. In life we might have interests in something whereas we
are made for something else.
Give them the ability to put theory or knowledge to practical use,
knowledge that cannot be used is as good as no knowledge.
Become responsible towards society and the environment. We should
remember it is the society which make a nation and not an individual.
Develop a positive attitude and ability of gratitude towards life.
This will bring humility in the person.
I think a career will be the by product of all the above.
