MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION IN GREAT BRITAIN
Abstract
The paper is concerned with the amount of space for the issues of multicultural education which is provided by the national curriculum in Great Britain. The research has focused on schools in Great Britain, more precisely on schools in England and Wales as the educational system in Scotland follows a different pattern. The hypothesis states that the national curriculum provides enough space and it is done through the subjects of Personal, social and health education and the subject of Citizenship and also through cross curricular activities as well as several school project works. The paper observes how the national curriculum is designed and how schools perform multicultural education within their own teaching practice.
