Probably the largest single factor inhibiting global education is the manner in which curriculums are structured and implemented. By and large historically,they are local by nature. Even though the majority of Western curriculums find their roots in the Greek Liberal Arts, there are often considerable differences among them. The most significant difference is the reality that the units of study, the teaching/learning materials, and the content are usually developed from within the locality, nation, or culture. Children in Canada often learn about Peru from content developed by Canadians unfamiliar with Peru. Though well meaning, in some cases, this content is biased, in others it is even fallacious. Figure 1 attempts to illustrate current curriculum practise. Each culture designs its own curriculum and presents learners with an awareness of the others that comes complete with a cultural bias. For example, Muslim children learn about America from a Muslim point of view. English children learn about the Amazon Rain Forest from a position that often does not take into account the real issues facing Brazilians every day. This, unfortunately remains a Curriculum For Segregation, mitigated only by the liberality and understanding of those who develop and implement each curriculum.

SchoolNet Global provides a most powerful tool to assist schools worldwide to move from the present state towards a Curriculum for Integration. Moreover, this can be done within the present curriculum contexts. For example, within SchoolNet Global, children from many nations can publish their views of the issues surrounding the world's rainforests. These can be freely discussed within local schools to develop a global perspective. Figure 2 serves to illustrate curriculums that are beginning to seek information and content from sources within other nations and cultures. Internet Communications Technology can revolutionize education. It can assist the peoples of the world to inform and educate one another. Children can and should be a direct part of this process. SchoolNet Global provides a safe environment for school children throughout the world to begin this process of integration. Their work which used to have a small audience within each school, can now have a global one. Schools around the globe can publish to SchoolNet Global as they carry out their regular work. Projects and themes, at times, supported by sponsors can enhance learning everywhere. Many Internet based educational offerings seek to trivialize the use of the technology. SchoolNet Global does not. Instead, it seeks to provide a vehicle for growing awareness and understanding among all the world's children.
