The research on the globalization of education involves more variables than expected. In order for education to be able to proceed a country must have a stable economy, political organizations, and the culture needs to be all allowing for education to occur.

According to the president, national education standards are what is needed to improve the education standards in the country. The supporters of national education standards say that having smaller number and clear benchmarks and effective educational assessment will enhance the level of education. They continue by saying that this system will enable parents to have information concerning what their children need to know and the skills required of them. When parents are empowered with information, they will make schools to be responsible for their results and therefore, each school will strive to do their best and come up with the required performance. For educational testing, it will ensure that school going children become ready to join colleges and even enter the working force.
Malaysia is located in the south-eastern Asia, bordering Thailand and northern one-third of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia, Brunei, and the South China Sea, south of Vietnam. Due to its locations, it has been colonised since the late 18th centuries by many countries. Since 1965, Malaysia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with GDP average of 6.5% growth for almost 50 years. The economical development especially boosted during 1981 and 2003 under the governance of Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad. Malaysia succeeded in diversifying its economy from dependence on exports of raw materials to expansion in manufacturing, services, and tourism. Also, the current Prime Minister continues to pursue pro-business policies .

In Malaysia, the United Malay National Organization (UMNO) became the dominant political force beginning in 1959. UMNO created an agreement with MCA (Malayan Chinese Association) and MIC (Malayan Indian Congress) together they formed the Barisan Nasional (National Front or BN) and since 1974 it has been the senior partner in a governing coalition. Since its formation as an independent state in 1963, Malaysia has never experienced a change in government. UMNO’s positions are attractive because they are important in Malaysia’s political and business life. Because UMNO leader has always served as Malaysia’s de facto prime minister, the party’s internal election is seen as the country’s real election. UMNO’s party apparatus often reflects the state’s apparatus, a fact that makes UMNO’s election even more alike with the country’s election.
Can anyone imagine what will happen to Malaysia after a few more decades? Debt crisis in Malaysia is getting more severe due to lack of management among individuals. Serious debt crisis might lead to bankruptcy to our country. Nation leaders should lead others away from debt. If this scenario continues, Malaysia might follow the footstep of Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Debt crisis can be avoided by providing trainings and courses to the employees, improve individual personal finance management and filtering candidates in hiring process.

It is noticeable that the system of education is changing from time to time based on financial issues and how the world is growing. In the past, individuals taught the education system from the oldest member of the family to children, and their members were charging fees from the families that sent their children to them. Which meant that education was an important thing in all ages. Nowadays, the education is shaped to an official system run by professional people in governments and many countries invest high amounts towards education which makes evidence of how important it is in our current life. Every country has a different system of education based on their financial stability, government infrastructure and the standard of the government officials. It is noticeable that there is a big difference between the education in developing countries and the prevailing system in developed countries .In my essay I will discuss some reasons for these differences...

Therefore, there are pros and cons in obtaining education both in the United States and in the Philippines. Both have strong and weak points. But since education is the key toward a successful and a prosperous country, and both countries want to be successful and prosperous anyway, I think it would be a better idea that these two countries should adapt the positive aspects of education of each. I wonder what education would be like if all countries in the whole world will acclimatize to what is beneficial and become more flexible and open minded enough to support education with all their best and at the same time providing all the resources the students need for a better education toward a better future?
