Abstract: | International research findings and country experiences prove that, in coping with the tension between the global and the
local in education, three major forces contribute to the success of international reform: firstly, the national public authorities
in protecting education as a common good through political commitment and policy actions; secondly, the local community, in
responding to the diversifying educational needs through active participation and initiatives for innovation; and thirdly,
the international community, through technical, professional as well as financial assistance to member countries for desired
systemic changes. This paper examines the roles of international education in facilitating systemic reforms, and explores
strategies in promoting international education for educational change, citing evidence-based cases to examine the interaction
between international education and systemic educational reforms. |
