GLOBAL AND SOCIETAL ISSUES IN EDUCATION: BUILDING A SKILLED AND INCLUSIVE SOCIETY THROUGH BUSINESS EDUCATION
Abstract
Business education occupies a critical intersection between economic development
and social equity. This article examines the global and societal challenges
confronting business education systems worldwide, with particular attention to
issues of access, inclusivity, curriculum relevance, digital transformation, and
graduate employability. Drawing on contemporary literature in education policy,
business pedagogy, and human capital theory, the article argues that business
education must be reconceptualized as a vehicle for building both skilled and
inclusive societies. The analysis highlights how systemic inequalities, technological
disruption, and rapidly evolving labor market demands are reshaping the
imperatives of business education. The article concludes that an equity-centered
approach to business education is not merely a moral imperative but a strategic
necessity for national and global competitiveness. Suggestions are offered for
policymakers, institutions, and educators seeking to align business education with
the broader goals of sustainable development, social justice, and economic
participation for all.
