for billions of people throughout the world. Imperialist banks and corporations
reap huge profits from the exploitation of working people even as the world
economy is racked by crises, the gap between rich and poor countries widens,
hundreds of millions are thrown into unemployment, billions are kept in
poverty, and environmental destruction proceeds unabated. The imperialist
countries, led by the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United
States</st1:place></st1:country-region>, wage wars of aggression to control
valuable markets and resources and suppress revolutionary movements. All over
the world, imperialism intensifies the oppression of women, exacerbates racial
and ethnic conflicts, and incites discrimination against migrants. </span></font><span

font-family:"Times New Roman"'>In the guise of neoliberal globalization,
imperialism is having a devastating impact on education. Drastic cuts in public
spending for education have become the norm. Teachers, researchers, and other
education personnel suffer deteriorating standards of living as salaries fail
to keep up with rising costs. Large numbers are being laid off as governments
close down schools and universities deemed inefficient. As education becomes the
flashpoint for popular struggles, schools and universities are increasingly
subjected to state repression. </span></font><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Imperialism exercises an ever-tightening grip on
education. The WTO's General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) has placed
liberalization of the so-called education market and the privatization of
education on the agenda of future negotiations, along with other basic social
services. Teaching and research are to an unprecedented extent driven and
defined by corporate interests. </span></font><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>

imperialism, in particular, makes full use of the means at its disposal—chiefly
its huge monopolies in mass media—to shape world public opinion according to
its interests. Monopolies have increasing influence over curricula, education

aspect of struggles against imperialism. On the one hand, imperialist
domination of education and research is used to undermine people's struggles.
On the other, a critique of imperialist ideology can be an important tool in
the struggle for radical structural change. Throughout the world today,
education workers respond to imperialist globalization through solidarity and
struggle to defend their rights and welfare, the people's right to education,
and advance the struggle for a more just and humane future for all.</span></font><span
