The State of Global Citizenship Education within Curaçao's Primary School System
Lasten, Earney; Upchurch, Randall S.; Christina, Ginoutrich
Education 3-13, v51 n7 p1173-1184 2023
The enclosed population study evaluated administrator and instructor awareness and performance ratings concerning application of national standards specific to global citizenship curricula as set forth by Curaçao's Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports. Two compelling outcomes were detected; first, teachers and principals reported similar observations relative to (a) awareness and (b) performance on standards; and second, significant statistical differences were detected concerning performance when the data were filtered by public versus private schools. The implication is that Curaçao's primary school system is indeed administering the Ministry's prescribed national standards within their primary schools; however, differential levels of performance are evident between public versus private schools which in turn provides evidence of underlying casual factors. Therefore, an overarching finding is that these disparate results between public and private schools relative to performance on global citizenship curricula portends pending social inequities in student knowledge and awareness of global citizenship principles.
