Drawing from fields as different as geography, music, political science, and ecology, they look at the connections between nations and peoples and the trends that shape our lives. And global studies majors don’t just think on a large scale. They may study how something like climate change can affect hundreds of nations, but they also consider its effects on their own backyard.” Potential Career Paths: Foreign Service/State Department; International business, including working for a domestic American corporation in their international operations, or working for a corporation abroad; Entrepreneurialism; International law; International development and sustainable development; International non-profit work or activism on environment, human rights, social justice, etc.; Journalism and other communications media; Education, especially teaching and administration at the high school level and above.

    International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) & Community-Based Institutes on Peace Education (CIPE) Tony Jenkins, Co-Director, Peace Education Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, & Global Coordinator, International Institute on Peace Education INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE ON PEACE EDUCATION The International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) was founded in 1982 and has since been held annually in different parts of the world. The first IIPE was held at Teachers College, Columbia University and organized by Professors Betty A. Reardon, Willard Jacobson and Douglas Sloan in cooperation with the United Ministries in Education. The IIPE is a multicultural and cooperative learning opportunity that has brought together educators and professionals from around the world to learn with and from each other in short-term learning communities that model principles of critical, participatory peace pedagogy. The Institute is an opportunity for networking and community building and has spawned a variety of collaborative research projects and peace education initiatives at the local, regional, and international levels. The International Peace Bureau, in nominating IIPE for the 2005 UNESCO Peace Education Prize described it as “probably the most effective agent for the introduction of peace education to more educators than any other single non-governmental agency.”(Weiss, 2005) The objectives of each particular institute are rooted in the needs and transformational concerns of the host region. More widely, the social purposes of the IIPE are directed toward the development of the field of peace education in theory, practice and advocacy. In addition to the important learning of contextually relevant issues and pedagogical approaches, the purposes of the IIPE are threefold: 1) To aid in the development of the substance of peace education through exploration of new and challenging themes to contribute to the on-going development of the field.

The schools of today should participate in the educational and social revolution. Thus, the curriculum in Philippine schools today has to be geared to the rapid societal changes and the new responsibilities for the new breed of Filipinos. The three most important sectors of society that give direct input to the improvement of the curriculum are the academe (institutions), the government, and the industries (both public and private companies). Some government institutions, such as the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Department of Education (DepEd), are directly involved in upgrading the curricular programs of learning institutions.
