Abstract

The connectivity and convergence of globalisation is evident in daily life, economics, politics and the media. Globalisation has subsumed nationalism and ousted state apparatuses that control knowledge and labour forces. While globalisation has emancipated ideas it is still challenged by the structural inequalities and instabilities that exist in communities. Globalisation according to Dower and Williams (2002) confronts young people with their own global impact and identity. Globalisation requires students to grapple with their identity, ethnicity, culture, politics, economics, societal norms, religion and dependency (Dower & Williams, 2002). These are major challenges for schools.
