Inclusive learning environement. Self-awarness. Discovery of talents.
Rather then imposing a pre-conceived curriculum, learning in a project based approach would be more motivating and would not associate a student with a grade, rather, with his level of accomplishment.

There should be inclusive learning environments , where students can identify their talents and put more effort in developing these. Here the teacher would play the role a mentor, guiding the student who is self-aware of the importance of his role as global citizen…

"Education for self-reliance"I think this will be helpful in eradicating unemployment problem and reduce rate of dependents.
Education should focus much on building student's creativities on solving existing problems facing society both in theory and practical.I always feels pains to see science students get access of laboratory while those who take arts subjects lacks ,the teachers should tells students particular art students where is their laboratory and of-course it is the community.

Global Citizenship to help students learn about different cultures as they really are not how they are perceived.
Many times we imagine how people live in certain countries by what we have read about in some article or seen in a picture. Global Citizenship can give us the opportunity to actually talk to someone from a certain country and learn from them directly as to how they really live and what there country is really like.
