What does it mean? First, multicultural education is a field of study and an emerging discipline whose

42、major aim is to create equal educational opportunities for students from diverse racial, ethnic, social-class, and cultural groups. One of its important goals is to help all students to acquire the knowledge and communicate with people from diverse groups in order to create a civic and moral communi
