Material Detail

The Global Education Website is initiated and funded by AusAID to support its Global Education Program. The objective of the Global Education Website is to increase the amount and quality of teaching of global education in Australian primary and secondary schools. Global education provides students with conceptual knowledge and skills, and helps to develop positive attitudes and values and a willingness to participate actively in shaping the future.  As well as country profiles and information about global issues the site contains teaching and learning support materials, teaching ideas and activities, case studies, a professional development event noticeboard, a monthly newsletter, and links to selected high quality, relevant AusAID and EdNA Online resources.

The site supports the AusAID Global Education Program which aims to raise awareness and understanding among Australian school students of international issues, development and poverty, and to prepare them to live in an increasingly globalised world and to be active citizens shaping better futures. The strategy of the project is to provide an Internet Site and curriculum material that is of high professional standard, is attractive, teacher friendly; and accessible.
