Summary/Abstract: Multicultural education is becoming for a modern society an indispensible element of its functioning. It is a civilization requirement. In this paper I attempt to define the condition and the range of knowledge as well as the competence of pedagogues who ought to implement the concepts of multicultural education. As a consequence of the research results I put forward the question concerning the educators’ stage of preparation for the tasks assigned by the developing society. I consider the following issues: whether a professionally educated teacher actually prepares their students/pupils for open to diversity learning which would enable them to “tame” the difficult to predict future and to create the changes? Do they induce self-realisation and creative activity being simultaneously the example of promoter of changes.
