The impact of global governance on primary education is becoming increasingly pronounced. Amidst the tides of globalization, educational policies and practices are undergoing profound transformations, particularly within the context of multinational cooperation and resource sharing. Global governance shapes every facet of primary education through international standards, policy recommendations, and educational quality assessment systems. This not only enhances educational equity and quality but also presents numerous challenges. Developed and developing countries have encountered various experiences and lessons in policy implementation, facing issues such as uneven resource allocation and disparities in educational opportunities. This paper aims to analyze the current state of primary education policies within the framework of global governance, explore potential future directions, and offer pertinent policy recommendations, with the goal of providing valuable insights for the formulation and implementation of educational policies across nations.
