Since the arrival of North America’s first settlers to the present day, few issues seem to stimulate as much discussion, debate, and controversy, as the education of our children. School curriculum and what and how our children should be taught continues to be one of the oldest issues that western society has dealt with. Due to globalization, educational institutions have found the need to modify or reform their curriculum so that they can compete against other highly educated countries and attract business investment. As a result, education has become highly competitive, and in many cases, corporately driven. This has resulted in the school curriculum being driven by international test scores and standardized testing within countries. As a result, many believe that the push for better math and science scores comes at the cost of arts programming. Global citizenship is discussed as one of the ways students are challenging these corporate agendas, and promoting social justice.
