Whose curriculum is it anyway? Western Models In Global Contexts

Who really decides what our students learn and why?

In this episode, I’m joined by Stephanie Martin to unpack one of the most pressing questions in international education: Whose curriculum is it anyway? Together, we explore the global dominance of Western education models and what this means for identity, culture, and power in schools around the world.

Are these curricula a gateway to opportunity and global mobility or do they quietly sideline local knowledge and perspectives? And as international schools continue to grow, who benefits most from the systems we’ve inherited?

This is a thought-provoking conversation for educators, leaders, and anyone interested in the future of global education.
