Gurukul The School, a top rating school in Ghaziabad, would like everyone to realize and understand, it has to be with geographical boundaries bearing no meaning of late with countries around the world coming closer to form a singular planet of superpowers.

Going by the numbers provided by Statista in 2023, about 7,65,000 students emigrated from India to different foreign countries to pursue their education. Let’s not forget these numbers are contained to India alone, with global statistics coming back with even more jaw-dropping facts and figures.

Amidst this, if there is one thing we at Gurukul The School, a top rating school in Ghaziabad, would like everyone to realize and understand, it has to be with geographical boundaries bearing no meaning of late with countries around the world coming closer to form a singular planet of superpowers.

So, in today’s blog post, let’s talk about the relevance and importance of global exposure for children. Let’s quickly delve in and read on.

Why is Global Exposure Crucial for Children in Their Growing-up Years?

Children develop views about the world and its people, along with imbibing critical skills, during their formative years. That’s because it is the phase when they are fully mouldable.

In times when global citizenship reflects becoming aware and developing a mindset about the interconnectedness between people, places, and problems, international exposure for younger children becomes a non-negotiable.

The more the children are globally exposed, the better they understand the concepts of diversity and inclusivity, which in today's day and age hold utmost relevance. Not to forget, global exposure introduces children to various cultures, traditions, and languages. It equips them better to function efficiently among diverse perspectives and differences.

At Gurukul The School, we call this preparing children for everything likely to march in their direction in the future. This is one of the reasons why we encourage our students to operate in varied environments, which not only improves their creativity and curiosity metrics but also adds a touch of comfort to change, easing their probable change struggles and journeys in the future.

No wonder eminent personalities like Mr. Aamir Khan, Brahm Kumari Shivani ji, and Ms. Kiran Bedi have only good things to say about our futuristic approach involving the impartment of education with a global perspective.

How to Make Global Exposure a Reality for Children?

We just looked at the importance of global exposure for children. Now, let us look at ways in which the same can become a reality for them.

First, let’s talk about the specifics of our process at Gurukul The School. For decades now, even before global exposure was a thing, we have been invested in the concept of "student exchange programs."

As a part of this program, we ensure that our students are offered transformative learning experiences, which can make them self-aware, independent, and effective problem-solvers. We make sure that these programs allow our students to reside with host families so that they learn to appreciate the concept of home and family.

To date, we have successfully conducted student-teacher exchange programs with countries like Poland, Indonesia, the USA, Germany, China, Ireland, and many more. One outcome that has remained common throughout is our children's ability to develop personal values and critical thinking.

Speaking of ways of providing children with much-needed global exposure, we cannot but overlook the prominence of Global Education Fairs. Any well-read person would know that these prove to be an excellent outlet into international education, cultures, and career opportunities worldwide. At Gurukul The School, a top rating school in Ghaziabad, we have made the most of this approach by hosting a Global Education Fair, 2024-25, in August 2024. This fair attempted to connect students with 25+ world-renowned universities. From cutting-edge technology to liberal arts, students got to explore diverse global opportunities, engaging with top institutions at this fair. On this occasion, the Principal of our School, Mr. Gaurav Bedi, urged students to dream boldly and seize opportunities. You can get a glimpse of this event here.

Another excellent way of providing children with much-spoken global exposure begins with adopting methodologies that are aligned with global educational trends. Simply put, we work towards conducting Olympiads, quiz sessions, MUN, symposiums, debates, and many other interschool curricular and co-curricular competitions, all of which not only ensure holistic education and continued progress for our students but also lay the foundation for meeting children's global exposure needs.

Global Educational Exposure is a Must in Today’s Age!

Those who are associated with us know that we at Gurukul The School are not the ones to preach but, more so, the ones who believe in the ideology of practice. All the global exposure initiatives that we have taken thus far prove enough grounds for how proudly we stand for these and wish for every student who studies with us to experience them.

In fact, our decades of experience in education tell us that it is time for every educational institute to walk this path if their students’ growth and real-world progress are what they seek. At the end of the day, it helps every education provider, children, and their parents to be on the same page concerning global exposure.
