Globalization, Nationalization and Rationalization

This is the era of knowledge, connectivity, information flow, regional co-operation and inter-competition. Globalization is bringing new and emerging trends in various domains including education and is obviously a path maker to the new horizons in education. The grass-roots level issues impinge the adoption of global trends in education especially for the developing countries. All these areas lead to progress as well as to challenges. This paper illustrates a case of Pakistan and an example of emerging trend of career education is presented. A comparison of global trends and local realities show that a rationalization in approach is deemed important.
