The core idea of multicultural education is to promote educational equity.

Multicultural education is the idea that all students, no matter which group they belong to, such as gender, nationality, race, culture, social class, religious belief, etc., or belong to a special group, should enjoy equal education in school.

Its implementation includes four aspects: content integration, knowledge construction, reducing prejudice, educational fairness and authorized school culture and social structure.

Implementation method:

First of all, content integration means that teachers use examples, data and information from different cultures to understand key concepts, principles, generalizations and theories in their research fields.

Second, the process of knowledge construction means that teachers help children understand how knowledge is produced and how knowledge is influenced by the race, nationality and social status of individuals and groups, because the cultural assumptions implied in a discipline will affect the construction of knowledge in that discipline.

Thirdly, reducing prejudice refers to identifying the characteristics of students' racial attitudes and determining how to change these characteristics through teaching, so as to establish positive contacts between students of different racial backgrounds and establish a more democratic and tolerant attitude towards others.

4. Fair education refers to the adoption of teaching styles that match students' learning styles to promote students from different ethnic groups, cultures and social classes to achieve academic success.

5. Authorized school culture and social structure means that the institutional setup and actual operation of the school can promote the academic improvement and emotional development of all students, such as grouping the ability of investigation, marking exercises, participating in sports and interaction between teachers and students of different races and nationalities, thus creating a school culture that authorizes all groups of students to participate.
