Getting Educated in the Global Village - Phase 2

During Phase 1 of the transition from the Industrial Park model to the Global Village model, educators were forced to question long-standing assumptions and develop strategies that were both affordable and available. Those strategies forced school administrators to distinguish between the superfluous and the essential elements of getting educated in the Global Village. Phase 2 applied Lessons Learned during Phase 1 to create a robust and sustainable system of education for the Global Village. This involved five basic principles:

1. Restructuring time 

In the Industrial Park, time was the constant and learning was the variable. In the Global Village,  learning is the constant and time is the variable. Though far from optimal, the way students got educated during the pandemic helped break the bond to outdated time structures for learning.

2. Student-centered models 

In the Industrial Park, education occurred in batch-mode. This aligned with the protocols for  factory, and industrial operations. However, these protocols could  not accommodate the special needs, learning challenges, or disparities among batches of students. Affluent parents could  mitigate these obstacles with private tutors, and teacher assistants.  Students whose parents could not afford these options fell  behind and seldom recovered. The batch mode of education required lock-step performance. Out of step performers reflected poorly on the "productivity" of the education factory.

Dual Residency in the Global Village

 All Residents of the Global Village enjoy dual residency.

•  Their IP address makes them bona fide residents of the Global Village. 
•  Their Land address makes them bona fide residents of the community where they reside.

 

Benefits, Privileges, and Drawbacks 

Dual residency offers benefits and privileges in each space where you reside. For example, you will have access to two support systems, can influence others in both spaces, and may be able to attain leadership roles in both. You are also able to work in either space without needing a work permit or visa. And you can attend school in either space at the tuition rate offered for both on-line and in-person classes.

• Dual Residents have the ability to live and work freely in their own homes, subscribe to on-line and in-person entertainment, and take virtual tours of distant places with relative ease.
• Drawbacks of being a dual resident include the potential for double taxation, the concern for security in both spaces, and the fact that you become bound by the laws and codes of both spaces.
• Attaining dual residency in some locations can be complex and expensive. It may require the assistance of both legal and technical experts approved by Government Authorities.
  

Cultural Education

Dual Residents have the opportunity to learn about the culture of countries they may never see in person, learn two (or more) languages, and experience different ways of life.

Both social media and in-person relationships can be complex when the rules regarding citizenship and on-line participation are controlled by Government Authorities. In these cases, it may be wise to consult with certified experts–including technicians and lawyers–regarding the do's and don'ts of work from home employment and social media restrictions.
