Abstract	Educational trends in a rapidly changing world are stressed in the eleven articles which comprise UNICEF news. Written by journalists, educators, public officials, and staff members of international agencies, the articles describe educational development globally, on the community level, and in the classroom. The first article points out the need for developing an awareness of global diversity and an empathy for others. Several articles argue that the classroom is the most useful place for people of all ages to learn to deal with masses of information and stimuli generated by modern society and to gain appreciation of a common humanity and dignity of the individual. Case studies of educational programs in England, Italy, Illinois, and Canada present information on innovations to broaden awareness of the global dilemma including community participation, newspaper analysis, and mass media teaching. An article on the development of education in Europe explains how the widening gap between rich and poor has prompted efforts to internationalize both schools and society. Individual aspects of educational development are discussed in an article on ways in which parents can prepare their children for the 21st century. Another article advocates the use of student-centered curriculum rather than content-centered teaching units, to increase the capacity of students to learn from the world. (Author/DB)
