Cultural Diversity in the Classroom: A European Comparison.
Wiesbaden: VS Verlag fur Sozialwissenschaften
The so-called nation states have created ethnical minorities. Also due to migration,
cultural diversity is the reality. The multicultural society is strongly reproduced in
the schools all over Europe. Cultural diversity in the classroom is increasingly re-
cognized as a potential which should not be neglected. The educational system has,
above all, to provide all children with equal opportunities. Experts from Finland,
the UK, Hungary, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, and other European states, mostly res-
ponsible for teacher education, have contributed to this volume with critical, but
constructive remarks on the classroom reality in their countries. This book is
valuable reading for academics and practitioners in educational sciences.
