The purpose of this study is to identify teachers’ view on students’ degree of knowledge, skills, and attitudes relating to global citizenship issues. A total of 87 primary and secondary school teachers from several states were selected. This study used questionnaires to collect data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that the level of knowledge is relatively high, while students’ degree of skills and attitudes about global citizenship are relatively moderate. In addition, at the primary school level, the mean scores are relatively low compared to the secondary school level. The findings also showed that students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes in secondary schools are higher than in primary schools. This study proposed a more structured global citizenship education to be embedded in the schools’ education structure and as a guideline that can be followed by all teachers to produce students who are willing to become aspiring global citizens for national and global well-being.
