Global citizenship is one of the sorts after concepts that is being establishing in the field of education. It may be because of the need for interdependence and interconnection that we felt in a globalized era. Education that promotes global citizenship is thought of as having the capability to address many of the issues that we, as humans face globally, such as environmental issues, social injustices, poverty, and human rights violations. The most important aim of Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is developing respect for all, creating a sense of belongingness to a common humanity and helping the learners to become more responsible and active global citizens. GCED sensitises the learners to the major challenges across the globe that we face today and equip them to think reasonably and to act for it with a vision of achieving a much more secure world for all. Education for global citizenship, is a public good that is of benefit not only to the individual pupils and students concerned but also to the well-being of society as a whole (Nixon, 2011).GCED helps learners to attain an individual, national, and global identity to transcend geographical borders. The present paper is a thematic intervention which explores how education for global citizenship can be facilitated through the school curriculum and what are the challenges that come in the way of its implementation.
