Course Reviews

  • Mingxin Li
    The course helps me realize the identity as a global citizen. All teachers around the globe are supposed to learn GCED pedagogies, making it a sustainable development in education
  • Marc Andrew Peñas
    This course truly struck me because it helped me understand the importance of education for social change and for developing a global perspective free from racial prejudice.
    I adore the GCED program and urge everyone to enroll in it in order to better oneself, others, and society as a whole by acting as a change agent. It equips one to be a confident leader who can handle any issue that arises in society.
    The GCED course I'm taking has my whole satisfaction.

  • Bernadette Diangson
    The course taught me to become an informed citizen and critically literate; that I should be socially connected and respectful of diversity and differences among people; and that I should be ethically responsible and engaged as a human. Inevitably, this course is essential, especially in today's society where we should not only think of ourselves but, also others. I hope to pass on my learning in this course in whatever way I can. Thank you for this opportunity.
