GLOBAL MINDEDNESS OF THE PROFESSIONAL COLLEGE TEACHERS: A COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE

The issues of globalization and cultural diversity have gained increasing attention in higher
education. As the international community moves toward greater interdependence, globalization is driving
a revolution in educational institutions. Higher educational institutions have stepped up to the challenge by
internationalizing their curriculum and offering education abroad opportunities for their students. The
metamorphic change has been a challenge for educators and researchers to measure this cadre of
globalization among higher education. The understanding that the India must play a key role in this global
competitive market is felt throughout policymakers and the public. Therefore, it is imperative that the
educational sector take the lead in this initiative. The workforce of tomorrow must be globally aware and
culturally sensitive to create the culture of interconnectedness.
