  "I was an adventurous boy roaming the rice fields in Northern Thailand; 
   I hope I won't become a tamed academic after these PhD years in the U.S."

Education and the global economy are envisioned as having an interdependent relationship. Competition in the global economy is dependent on the quality of education, whereas the goals of education are dependent on the economy. Under these circumstances, education changes as the requirements of the economy change. As a result, human capital theory now dominates discussions of education for the global economy. (6)

"Critical pedagogy is a process of learning and relearning. It entails
a sometimes painful reexamination
of old practices and established
belief of educational institutions
and behaviors. Critical pedagogy causes one to make inquiries about equality and justice. Sometimes these inequalities are subtle and covert. The process requires courage and patience. Courage promotes change and democracy provides learners equal access to power."

Lily, a teacher, is cited in Joan Wink's "Critical Pedagogy: Notes from the real world." (Longman-1997-p. 60)

"From these pages I hope at least  the following will endure:  my trust  in the people, and my faith
 in men and women,  and in the creation of the  world in which it will be easier to live"

----Paolo Freire, Preface, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Nothing in education is so astonishing
as the amount of ignorance it accumulates
in the form of inert facts.
