RATIONALE FOR GLOBAL EDUCATION
SOUTH CAROLINA’S PROFILE OF A 21ST CENTURY GRADUATE FOCUSES ON THE 4 C’S:
COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATION, CRITICAL THINKING, AND CREATIVITY
Twentieth-century assumptions about the world are rapidly becoming obsolete. Globalization,
the digital revolution, mass migration, and the prospect of climate instability are triggering new concerns and demanding a new kind of graduate. At the dawn of the 21st century we are recasting our understanding of economics, communication, security, cultural identity, citizenship, and the environment. Indeed, a growing number of reports document the new demands and opportunities these changes present our youth. They call for more powerful, relevant, and self-directed learning that will prepare the young to live, compete, and collaborate in a new global scenario. (p15. Asia Society)
