The “global village” and “flat world” are only two of the many different metaphors used to describe globalisation, but they capture the essence of this process that has profoundly changed how we live, work, and entertain; our lives are becoming increasingly intertwined with those of distant people and places around the world – economically, politically, and culturally.

The humanism conceptual framework is evident in the principles of the New Zealand Curriculum Framework (NZCF), whereby the teacher has the flexibility to develop classroom programme in accordance of the learning needs and styles of the students, and the acknowledgement that individual students will develop their essential skills to different degrees and at individual rates (MOE, 1993, pgs.

Throughout the years there have been many arguments on how to educate and in whether changing the paradigms of education, on how to educate and what’s the best strategic concept to be used in mainly public schools, considering the Latin American context. Paulo Freire, a leading and influential figure inside the “critical pedagogy” to guide students into helping them develop their critical thinking and consciousness of freedom. He noticed and studied a dichotomy between the teacher and the student, shown in the modern education in Latin America realizing there is a “banking concept” being presented. He refers to this “banking concept of education” to be a fractional action of communication from the teacher to the student, by delivering information to the student, having it stored and not exactly storing it and recognizing the information, by simply absorbing and accepting that all information received is the only thing they are meant to digest. Freire believes that this concept of education is suited for oppressors, to have the overwhelming control in aiming the student to adapt to this doctrine.
