Week 1 assignments

1. How would you propose the plan to prepare students in your country to work in different culturally, technologically, and   economically context?

Burma, need to change education policy for the country to move forward. We can not just stick on the traditional educational system. At the globalization, everyone should learn about different cultural, different languages, different religions to understand more about the other countries. For example, firstly, I would like to change the curriculum start from the primary to the high school level. In the curriculum should include about cultural around South east Asia and the world. For instance, how people from our neighbor greet when they first meet. What are do and don't for their country when we visit. What kind of law should tourists obey when visiting other countries. And also want to include languages from other countries as an elective course. So it makes easier for understand more about the other countries.

Technologically, in our country needs electricity 24 hours including the rural area because electric is needed for everyone. Without electricity how do we up to date to what's happening in the world and the same time automatically upgrade the living standard of the people. Basically, people needs electricity to use in reading to be knowledgable person. Students are need to be creative and try to create new things for the community. Need more computers for the school, computers are very useful for the students. For example, Thai government gave tablets to the school as a learning tool. In this situation, every student from the school have a chance to use tablets whether they come from poor or rich family. Among poor and rich peoples' gap are also very big only a few people are very rich and most of the people are poor and does not have a chance to use computer.

Economically, people need to change and try to lift the standard of the economic in Burma. Most of the system in Burma are still not very up to date so Burma is still behind within developing countries. For example, banking system in Burma are very different and not very useful for the people. I'm talking about banking system because money is one of the important thing to start a business. Last month, World bank is start working in Burma again in 25 years. It is a good sign for the economic in Burma. Student are need to know about how economic in other countries work.
