Intercultural education as a reflection of intercultural principles in school

Summary/Abstract: School curriculum is another obstacle to the achievement of intercultural education, in the contents. For example, personally reflect on racism, there is no guarantee that it will disappear. Because racism and other forms of discrimination are hushed up or avoided in the curriculum, it becomes difficult to deal with issues in school. Nieto (1992) consider the contents of school to introduce the concepts of racism and discrimination in an explicit way, may be a beneficial way to solve these problems. Even students at school should take part in discussions about racism or discrimination. While some teachers feel that students in small classes should not be exposed to such discussions, they overlook the fact that many of them suffer from the effects of racism or other forms of discrimination every day. The texts of books and educational materials are needed to be revised, taking other starting points, so that schoolchildren can learn to accept as normal various viewpoints and perspectives. Also they should be supplemented with specific values of minorities, thus avoiding certain forms of acculturation: assimilation and marginalization. The levels could be addressed by discussing with students and their experiences with reference to our life.
