Globalization and changes in the education system

Abstract

Th e issue that is more or less current in all the areas of the globe, hence, an issue
with a planetary character, should not remain on the margins of interest to the
Bosnian intellectual or political elite. Th e public probably did not grasp the
importance of all processes in which it is directly or indirectly involved without
even realizing it. Th e consequences of countless processes will be recognizable
only in ten years or more, yet they will, whether we like it or not, become a
part of the social reality. By then it will be too late for major repairs if these and
similar eff ects happen to be an obstacle to social development, hence, a timely
and high quality analytical and critical approach to all processes that have
become a part of reality of the Bosnian society is necessary. Th e text that follows
is too small a space for a quality and more thorough elaboration of this social
phenomenon and, therefore, I shall try to outline some important features regarding
the globalization processes and education, which, certainly, deserve and
require more analytical space. Th e text will, therefore, justify its purpose if it
succeeds to arouse even a sporadic interest of those responsible for the social reality
of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Th e relationship between globalization processes
and education is multidimensional and in this way cannot be considered in all
its comprehensiveness, thus the most important segments; economical, political,
and informational-communicational changes will be determined. Th e Bologna
process will be mentioned, but also the changes in culture and tradition caused
by the globalization processes.
