International Education Policy and Governance

The course is designed for graduate students and future policy-makers interested in thinking more critically about issues of globalization and education and in incorporating international, comparative and intercultural perspectives into their analysis of education, curriculum and pedagogy. The program will prepare students and researchers for a number of careers in the public or private sectors and will include meetings and discussions with professionals from a range of education professions in Geneva and internationally.
Interaction with NGOs and international organizations (UNESCO, World Bank, among others) is an important part of the curriculum. The program will promote interdisciplinary cooperation both in research and in teaching and will bring together scholars, experts and students from around the world.
