Abstract

This chapter explores excellence in general and talent in particular as a globalized phenomenon in education. Education today takes place in a global setting, which makes it meaningful to analytically talk about a global education space. The notion of a ‘global education space’ lends attention to national education systems being permeated by many similar components, such as marketisation, testing, accountability and rankings (Kelly 2018; Plum 2014; Smith 2016). Although education systems deliver different responses as a result of contextual conditions, a core trait of global education today is that education policies generally are introduced in reference to international developments, standards, and priorities (Lindblad et al. 2015; Rizvi and Lingard 2010) and that there is a strong tendency to depoliticize education policy solutions (Gunter 2018).
