This qualitative study delves into the multifaceted domain of global education to uncover the factors that influence the quality of learning experiences across diverse cultural and educational landscapes. Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in interpretivism, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with educators, students, and stakeholders from varied global educational settings. Thematic analysis of the data revealed several critical factors that intricately shape the quality of learning in global education. Cultural sensitivity emerged as a foundational element, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and incorporating diverse cultural perspectives into educational practices. The dynamics of teacher-student relationships were identified as crucial, highlighting the significance of fostering supportive and inclusive learning environments conducive to student engagement and academic success. Moreover, the relevance of curriculum content was underscored, emphasizing the need for curricula to be contextually meaningful and responsive to the evolving needs of global learners. Additionally, the integration of technology emerged as a powerful facilitator of quality learning experiences, offering opportunities for interactive and immersive learning transcending geographical boundaries. Furthermore, the study illuminated the impact of socioeconomic factors on learning outcomes, with disparities in access to resources and support exacerbating inequities in educational opportunities. The findings underscore the importance of addressing systemic barriers to ensure equitable access to quality education for all learners. In conclusion, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay of factors influencing quality learning in global education and provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to enhance educational practices and policies on a global scale.
