Role of Inclusive Education in Multiculturism and Global Citizenship
Abstract
We live in a world which has many cultures and diversities, a world where 6500 languages are spoken. The SDG–4 aims at and addresses the aspects of ensuring inclusive and equitable education with quality standards to promote lifelong learning opportunities for everyone. Inclusion means that every child has innate strengths explore learning and growth opportunities. A classroom should be crammed with optimism where an error isn't to be feared but viewed as a learning experience. Multiculturalism is a phenomenon where different diversities of cultures, races, and ethnicities, with specific reference to minority groups and their differences are acknowledged. This paper aims at understanding the link between inclusive education and multiculturalism which lies in a classroom with students from several different countries and who speak different languages embracing each other's culture. Similar to Multiculturalism, Global citizenship enhances and encourages personal respect and respect for others, in a multicultural and global arena. It enforces individuals to reflect and introspect deeply and critically about equitability and sustainability. The paper also gives brief information about the important role that inclusive education plays in global citizenship. The evolving of inclusion in multiculturalism and global citizenship from the past to present and the deeds that will happen in the future also form the core of the paper.
