Аннотация:Indonesia, with its diverse social, cultural and geographical variety, is one of<br />the biggest multicultural societies in the world. This diversity –when misused- can cause<br />many problems such as corruption, collusion, nepotism, poverty, violence, damage to<br />environment, separatism, and human right violation. Vis-à-vis this, multicultural education<br />suggests that diversity of ethnicity, culture, language, religion, society, gender, intellectual<br />acumen and age can in fact be used to create inclusive pluralism through sufficient<br />strategy and efficient concept of education. In practical terms, what is required from a<br />teacher in this whole concept of education is not only to be able to teach his/her subject<br />matter, but also to implant the multicultural and inclusive values such as democracy,<br />humanism, and pluralism. In the end, what this approach can achieve is to produce the<br />out-put that has not only the academic skill in his/her specialization, but also the ability to<br />adopt and apply the norms of pluralism which will lead him/her to be more tolerant and<br />understanding toward diversity and differences.
