Global citizenship education has become an urgent requirement for all countries in the context of increasing globalisation. Global citizenship education helps students understand global issues and equips them with the necessary skills to live and work in a diverse and interconnected world. Many countries have implemented global citizenship education programs, offering valuable experience and lessons. This article focuses on studying global citizenship education in the general education curriculum of Singapore, South Korea. The article has established that in the four countries (Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, and Australia), global citizenship education is emphasized greatly in the education system. The four countries under study have taken deliberate steps to ensure that their education systems produce citizens who can fit anywhere in the world. Further, the article has noted some weaknesses in the global citizen education of the countries under study, as noted by different scholars. Global Citizenship Education policymakers can use this article's findings to improve their countries' curriculums. Further, apart from drawing comparisons from the four countries, the article has analysed how Vietnam can improve its Global Citizenship Education.
