The importance of Global Citizenship Ken Kay, CEO of Ed. Leader 21, states: “Global awareness is a new essential in the global economy. Americans need a secure understanding of global issues that affect them as citizens and workers.

Future Goals Even for those school-age students today who will never in adulthood leave their native shores, the future is certain to be so heavily influenced by international developments and their lives within national boundaries so affected by factors emanating from outside those boundaries that they will be hugely disadvantaged by an education that has not raised their awareness of, sensitivity to and facility with issues arising from beyond a national “home” context. - Mary Hayden
