Abstract
This paper explores the changing contexts of a globalized world, international development and their impact on educational practices focused on higher education institutions. Globalization has influenced the educational philosophy and classroom practices all over the world. Over the past two decades, significant economic and political changes have affected education. The forces associated with globalization have altered the context in which educators operate, and profoundly changed ones experience in both formal and informal education. Schools, colleges and universities have, for example, become sites for branding and the targets of corporate expansion. Many policymakers automatically look to market solutions. The impact and pervasiveness of these forces of globalization means traditional universities are in a period of marked transition.
