Global Citizenship Education in Pakistan: Awareness, Attitude and Challenges

Abstract

    This study was attempted to analyze teacher's awareness, attitude and challenges in implementing Global Citizenship Education in Pakistan. A questionnaire was constructed and filled by teachers of ten public sector universities of Punjab. Perceptions of two hundred and thirty-five teachers were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings were highlighting that teachers showed a low level of awareness towards global citizenship education; however positive attitude towards global citizenship education was counted. Implementation of GCE is essential in order to prepare a civilized generation. However, there are some challenges teachers have encountered in implementing Global Citizenship Education in higher education institutions, such as inadequate environment, no provision in education police to teach it as a subject and lack of training regarding GCE. In order to promote GCE in Pakistan, the government may adopt the Canadian/USA/Australian or England roadmap or may use material and support provided by Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCA) for executing GCE.
