Change the world from just your classroom
Microvolunteering can be described as easy, no commitment actions that benefit worthy causes and which can be conducted in under 30 minutes, on the go, on demand and on a person’s own terms. These type of actions can be included within a citizenship course, where students can learn about and participate in actual volunteering activities within a class lesson without actually leaving the classroom! You can’t do that with traditional volunteering activities. So basically, Future Friendly Schools could incorporate microvolunteering actions within a Citizenship course to enable students to actually change the world in real time in a class lesson…

Have Global Lessons - collaborating across the world
Classes should interact across the globe. Different schools can learn together interacting via the internet. They should collaborate on projects interwoven with other aspects of the curriculum - this doesn't just have to be about culture - they can collaborate on technology and language and literature and science. Teachers could even give one half of the resources to one class and the other half to the other - this way they would have to work together to achieve the answer.
If there is a technology barrier to this in a developing country this could be overcome by one school initially…

Inclusive learning environement. Self-awarness. Discovery of talents.
Rather then imposing a pre-conceived curriculum, learning in a project based approach would be more motivating and would not associate a student with a grade, rather, with his level of accomplishment. The necessary knowledge and competence would be inter-wounded and necessary for the completion of each project and student would pass to the next when ready. There should be inclusive learning environments , where students can identify their talents and put more effort in developing these. Here the teacher would play the role a mentor, guiding the student who is self-aware of the importance of his role as global citizen…

"Education for self-reliance"I think this will be helpful in eradicating unemployment problem and reduce rate of dependents.
Education should focus much on building student's creativities on solving existing problems facing society both in theory and practical.I always feels pains to see science students get access of laboratory while those who take arts subjects lacks ,the teachers should tells students particular art students where is their laboratory and of-course it is the community.

Learning is measured with an established tool such as "The Global Competence Matrix". Students take responsiblity. More than read/discusss
This has to more than a chapter-by-chapter exercise. There must be several elements that ask students to set up social networks with peers from other countries within a specified context so that the learning that takes place can be measured. Teacher sets up project, teacher guides, students do, students act.

Exchanging learning experiences while locally engaging and global connecting of education centers to fulfill multidisciplinary activities
Establish a research/training centre to fulfill multidisciplinary outreach activities with the participation of both the academic staff and students would enable to explore the curriculum and class work in more practical manner rather than theoretical perspective.This will establish linkages between universities/colleges and industry and will orient students to experience a diverse study and research environment. As soon as they complete the course works they are capable of facing to the job hunting and building their own lives more quicker than the normal student.

Hiv /Aids should be included into all schools curriculum especially In Secondary schools among teens.most private schools do not educate and enlighten der teens in secondary school on these issues because they shy away from it and don't tend to see its importance as parents don't subscribe to their kids being taught on ****** reproductive health issues and Hiv/Aids.

Students need to be critically aware of the impact that their life choices have on people everywhere in the world, including the local
The impact of everything we use/ purchase has an effect on both the environment and other people. What were the conditions that it was made under? Are they fair? If not, what are you supporting?

It is crucial that we empower ourselves and understand the personal responsibility that we all have. Think and act Holistically.

Communicate effectively, collaborate, create, investigate the world & their neighborhood, service learning, take action to solve problems
Students should be able to communicate effectively and collaborate with a variety of people - from peers to adults. They should be investigators - of the world, their country, their region, and their neighborhoods - to begin to see how we are all linked together and issues in one place affect another. They should learn through service - either community service, or internships about the world and how they can help others. They also need to think about ways to solve problems that exist now. They need to be empowered to not just think of these solutions but also take…

Students are provided with practical and supportive learning experience.
Students need to learn in an internactive and practical way through workshops, internships, interest clubs, own teaching / research work, etc. And at each step they should be able to benefit from the support, coaching and mentoring by the educational institution.
