Any type of education or teaching that combines the values, histories, beliefs, texts and viewpoints of persons belonging to different cultural backgrounds is referred to as multicultural education. It is a method of teaching that is based on certain principles, which include diversity, inquiry, inclusion, self-reflection, democracy, skill acquisition and critical thinking. Education policy consists of the collection of laws and rules that govern the operation of educational systems.
