Comparative Analysis of Perspectives and Implementation of Multicultural Education between Developed and Developing Countries

Mukhlis Mukhlis

Abstract


Multicultural education has become an important topic in the context of global education, especially in response to the cultural diversity present in society. However, there are significant differences in the perspectives and implementation of multicultural education between developed and developing countries. This article aims to analyze these differences by comparing the policies, practices, and challenges faced by both groups of countries in implementing multicultural education. Developed countries generally have more structured policies, greater resource support, and more inclusive education systems. On the other hand, developing countries often face barriers due to economic limitations, social inequality, and a lack of teacher training. This study shows that although there is high awareness of the importance of multicultural education, its implementation in developing countries is still limited to some local initiatives and higher education. This article also provides recommendations for developing countries to adapt the approach to multicultural education to the local context and existing challenges
