Global Competency of Pupils for Competitiveness in Public Primary School in Rivers State

Abstract

This paper addresses the issues of global competency amongst public primary school pupils in Rivers State. Education is said to be the bedrock of development, therefore the quality of education given to children at the childhood stage cannot be overemphasized. The education given to the child should make the child globally visible by possessing the requisite competency skills.  These global competence skills include the critical thinking, self-awareness, identification of issues, use of varying languages, ability to analyses, synthesize and take action. The paper further highlighted the role caregivers should play in the instilling of these skills in children, However, the challenges of instilling these values and the implications it holds for the teacher were discussed and the way forward suggested.
