Under the facade of globalization, educational neocolonialism occurs through the transferring of educational theories and practices from the global north to the global south, potentially challenging and undermining indigenous intellect and epistemic formations. Neocolonialism is supported through the global importing of educational products that create a form of “neocolonialism of the willing.” In this essay, a theoretical framework for examining neocolonialism within educational contexts is used to develop the argument that the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, as a global educational accreditor, is an instrument of neocolonialism that uses its power to grant or deny accreditation to disseminate American understandings of teacher education.

在全球化的表象下，教育新殖民主义是通过将教育理论和实践从全球北方转移到全球南方而发生的，这可能会挑战和破坏本土的智力和认识形态。新殖民主义通过全球进口教育产品得到支持，这些产品创造了一种“自愿的新殖民主义”形式。在这篇文章中，一个在教育背景下检验新殖民主义的理论框架被用来发展这样一个论点，即教育者准备认证委员会作为一个全球教育认证机构，是一种新殖民主义的工具，它利用其权力授予或拒绝认证传播美国对教师教育的理解。
