ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book talks about the growth of International Schooling in its globalization context, an important discussion given the statement that: 'International Education was born out of globalization'. International Schooling in its new format might be termed 'post-Ideal', especially with regard to the changes in ownership and demographics. The field has explained its history and origins well, but has never fully explored the implications or effects of its existence. The landscape of International Schooling in 2012, with its more than 6,000 schools serving three million children, had seemed remarkably different not only in scale but also in nature to that previously explored by research. To bring the conclusions, there does still seem much scope and need for an 'Alliance for International Education' (AIE). Such a body does exist and had by 2012 completed six bi-annual conferences.
