Australia's First Female Prime Minister Fights for Women Around the World
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 22, 2017 -- Julia Gillard, in her interview with C.M. Rubin (Founder of CMRubinWorld), speaks about the troubling trends in world politics - “we have seen strong anti-globalization sentiment worldwide” - and how to address them. “Globalization has exposed students to a far greater range of ideas, cultures, languages, places and ideologies than ever before. Knowing how to understand these things, communicate and utilize them will be essential to their future success.”
Gillard states that her vision for education remains the same and that is “to provide all children, no matter where they live, their nationality or their gender, with a great quality education.” She emphasizes that “gender equality still eludes us” and that “every child deserves to be learning, regardless of their gender or location.”
In a changing world, students need to be globally competent, which she says “is about equipping students with the skills they need to succeed and compete.”
