The new millennium will provide educators the world over with untold opportunities, as well as obstacles, in their quest to provide an education for all. Social, political, economic and technological advances will continue to make education attainable to an ever-increasing number of students. At the same time, students served by most educational efforts will be increasingly diverse in terms of culture, race, ethnicity and gender. Accommodating the needs of such a diverse community of learners will be no easy task, especially given the fact that teachers across the globe tend to be rather homogeneous and cross-culturally inexperienced. Nevertheless, efforts to address the educational needs in many diverse societies continues to develop. This volume is an attempt to expand the dialogue about multicultural, or intercultural, educational efforts by reviewing the various issues, policies, activities and approaches which are underway in many diverse nations in the world. Educational researchers and practitioners from Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, the United States, Canada and Mexico have provided a survey of the multicultural dimensions of their respective nations while analyzing the educational responses to such issues. Each of these nations has a history that is rich in cultural complexity, yet diverse in their educational responses to these issues. There is something to be gained by studying the approaches others have taken. This book should be of interest and use in a variety of graduate level courses. Multicultural education courses should benefit from a global comparison of issues. International and comparative education, as well as teacher education courses in general, should benefit by providing a survey of how various countries are preparing teachers to work with all children. This volume should also be of interest to educational policy analysts who will be able to compare education in a variety of contexts as they go about their business of addressing the needs of refugee, immigrant and minority populations.
