One reliable, easly quantifiable indicator of global citizenship in a future friendly school is to have students blogging on a regular basis with peers from a dozen countries, bringing in fresh news and brilliant ideas into the classroom which will undoubtedly enhance a set of skills and empower learner autonomy.

Integration of Culture, Norms, and Practicies of the Indigenous people in the school curriculum
Recognize, protect, and promote the rights and welfare of Indigenous People, as well as equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to face various social realities and challenges. School curriculum should address for community participation and self determination and addresses the clamor for content that is directly connected to Indigenous Peoples life and struggles.
It should also implement a stronger affirmative action to eradicate all forms of discrimination against Indigenous People. Cultivate respect for cultural diversity as part of the respect for human rights. Promote awareness and appreciation of Indigenous Peoples cultural heritage and history.3 votes -

Global citizenship should include teaching our next generation that war does not "serve any nation" or it's people.
USA in particular, now ranks #88 in Global peace due to its ongoing and unsustainable practice of aggressive foreign policy, which has nothing in reality to do with protecting "freedom and security". It's about oil, arms sales, global "power", all drastically undermining the principals of environmental stewardship, student voice and basic human rights, and global citizenship. We need to stop extolling "virtue" over violence, weapons and killing. It's the number one factor driving shootings in places like an elementary school to begin with!

Gender Equality
The recent **** and utter insensitivity plus lack of empathy to the young woman's pain and humiliation in Delhi by the rapists (who after raping her inserted an iron rod into her which killed her) has prompted me to ask if this is worth teaching. Then there is female foeticide and dowry deaths and many women not being able to choose if they want to work outside the home or not. Don't know what exactly could be taught though.- perhaps they could be topics of debate between students.

Schools and other education institutions should be guided by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most comprehensive and widely accepted global agreement on how children should be protected, provided to, and included within broader society. Any institution that has influence on the lives of children should be guided by a framework that respects and includes children's perspectives, opinions and ideas. It all begins with respecting human rights.

The vulnreable and orpharnage children should be first consedered for scholarship
There are no simple solutions, no single intervention that can respond to the multiple challenges facing adolescents today. They need access to information, skills and services.

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…
