Catching Up or Leading the Way: American Education in the Age of Globalization

Author - Yong Zhao

With this book, educators, policymakers, parents and others interested in preparing students to be productive global citizens will gain a clear understanding of what kinds of knowledge and skills constitute “digital competence” and “global competence”, and what schools can –and must – do to meet the challenges and opportunities brought about by globalisation and technology.This book will forever change the debate about what's wrong and what's right with education and where it should be going. With an extraordinary command of facts and thought leadership, Zhao describes how schools have to keep pace with a world that is being dramatically transformed by globalisation, the "death of distance", and digital technology.
