The paper pleads for a global curriculum which will nurture understanding and commitment to a world society. Teachers have neglected to educate pupils for the nuclear age, for the technological revolution; for an international understanding of inter-relationships. Important aspects of the global curriculum should include peace education; inter-cultural studies; the development of thinking and valuing capacities; world problems of hunger, poverty and injustice; ethical and moral dimensions of problems; the changing nature of knowledge, future studies; real problem-solving and communication across the world in a system of networking.
