Globalization has reshaped societies by fostering interconnectedness, but it has also raised concerns about cultural identity and heritage preservation. Education, as a social institution, plays a crucial role in both assimilating global knowledge and safeguarding cultural diversity. This paper examines the anthropological dimensions of globalization and cultural identity in education, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities in multicultural societies. It explores how educational policies, curriculum development, and pedagogical approaches can balance global influences with local cultural identities. Through an anthropological lens, this study highlights the importance of cultural relativism, bilingual education, and inclusive teaching strategies. The findings suggest that education can serve as a bridge between globalization and cultural preservation, ensuring that cultural identity remains resilient in the face of global homogenization.
