Multiculturalism in education is a multi-dimensional and dynamic field of research, reflecting the complex nature of pluralistic societies that are increasing in number throughout the modern world. Theoretical perspectives on multicultural education offer a critical insight into how education systems of these pluralistic societies can address the cultural diversity and promote social justice. This research delves into the theoretical fundamentals of multiculturalism in education, examining the key concepts, theories and frameworks. As we navigate the complexities of globalization and cultural interaction, the principles of multicultural education remain essential in shaping a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
