Abstract

To make education a profitable enterprise and contributor to social development in the age of globalisation a strong role of the school in values integration and as part of the ethical construction of learners and citizenship building A mixed design study was attempted on participants from Kampala district schools The findings were that different values are imparted though he school process Educators SGBs the community counsellors and worship centres participant in integrating these values But the challenges are enormous ranging from poor remuneration of educators a theoretical education system and the unemployment problem which drains the original essence of education In order to optimally integrate values for social development a systems approach is proposed The model has inputs the process outputs and the environment The conclusion made is that reintegrating the school into social development requires an understanding of the policy context of the link between education and society This policy context is thus observed as the conceptualisation of the globalisation impacts on the state of education Globalisation impacts are those elements that affect the quality of industry and the school
