Globalization and global interdependence from a multi-dimensional perspective have generated a web of connectivity and integration across all areas of the globe. Events or outbreaks are no longer confined to any particular region but have widespread repercussions and long-lasting impacts around the world. The revolution of ICT has further intensified the nature of dependence and the commonalities in terms of practises and policies located across the globe. Education and its various connotations is a powerful tool and a process where ICT dependence and reliance are closely intertwined. This study aims to highlight the nature of changes and development brought about in the field of higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic period and the role played by ICT in the context of Mizoram.

From ancient times to the present day, education is a most important factor in the development of humanity. For that reason, a large number of countries invest all available resources in research and improvement of education systems. However, the improvement of education system of a country is not an easy task, and its experts are faced with an extremely important and extensive task. It is especially difficult to implement ideas and methods that have never been implemented before. Putting the idea into action often requires different resources, without necessary guarantee of success. That is why a large number of countries decide to initiate cooperation with other countries in the world, with the aspiration to implement an exchange of knowledge and experiences among experts employed in various education systems, different kinds of analyses of education systems are often created as a result of such meetings and exchanges, which include one or more countries in the world. This way of exchange contributes to a better understanding of the education system of the country, but also to recognizing advantages and disadvantages of different education systems, and finding ways to improve them, as well as space to implement desired components of another country’s system. Precisely for these reasons, the aim of the paper is to consider and analyze education system of the Kingdom of Denmark with special reference to systems of preschool, primary, secondary, and higher education.

This book discusses the local effects of globalisation, especially in the context of social work, health and practical theology, as well as the challenges of higher education in a troubled world. The more globalised the world becomes, the more important local identities are. The global becomes effective in the local sphere. This phenomenon, called ‘glocalisation’ since the 1990s, poses many challenges to people and to the social structures in which they operate.

A growing number of Native scholars are involved in decolonising higher education through a range of processes designed to create space for Indigenous realities and Indigenous ways of managing knowledge. Basing their educational approaches on Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies, they are developing Indigenist approaches within higher education. Ward Churchill (1996:509), Cherokee scholar, explains that an Indigenist scholar is one who:Takes the rights of indigenous peoples as the highest priority …who draws on the traditions – the bodies of knowledge and corresponding codes of value – evolved over many thousands of years by native peoples the world over.
