Abstract
Mobility has become a focus of social theorists with globalisation (Urry, 2010). Appadurai (1996) typifies recent manifestations of globalisation in terms of flows and spaces: technoscapes, ideoscapes, mediscapes, financescapes and ethnoscapes. In education, flows of teachers, educational policies, and curriculum are not new, given prior phases of imperialism when school systems were transplanted by colonial powers; into India, for example (Rizvi & Lingard, 2006).
