The emergence of global standards in social work education is closely linked to the growing recognition of social work as a professional discipline that requires common principles, ethical values, and educational quality across different countries. As social problems such as poverty, inequality, migration, discrimination, disasters, and human rights violations became increasingly global in nature, there was a need for social workers to possess comparable knowledge, skills, and professional competence regardless of where they were trained. Global standards were therefore developed to ensure consistency in education while respecting the cultural and social diversity of different nations. The roots of global standards can be traced to the early development of social work education in Europe and North America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Initially, training was informal and focused mainly on charity work and voluntary service. Over time, universities established formal social work programmes that emphasized scientific knowledge, professional ethics, and practical fieldwork. As social work expanded to Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other regions, differences in curriculum, teaching methods, and professional qualifications became evident. This highlighted the need for internationally accepted educational guidelines. The International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) played a leading role in developing global standards. These organizations collaborated to establish guidelines that would improve the quality of social work education worldwide. The
