The article investigates the role of international education and its relation to the world of work in an increasingly globalizing society. It takes three separate strands: (1) the ideological basis of international schools, largely ‘child-centred’ and following an international humanist philosophy; (2) modern economic growth theories, with particular emphasis on social capital theory; and (3) taxonomies of job status in post-Fordist economies. It combines them to show that international education can bridge the divide between education for citizenship and education for the needs of the economy by nurturing in students the transferable skills and attributes deemed necessary for high-status employment.
