Cultural Diversity and the Culture of Diversity in Education
Cultural Diversity and the Culture of Diversity in Education

Summary/Abstract: The presence of „the difference” in education is a fact sustained by the meeting between educational actors, in terms of negotiation on individual and social values. Therefore learning experiences offered to students have to be constructed in a multifaceted manner. The contemporary society highlights the difference in terms of its potential, rising it up to a principle level in educational philosophy. The cultural diversity in education refers to those structures that sustain plurality, both regarding the functionality of the educational process and the behavior of educational actors, in a genuine perspective of the difference management. The perspective of cultural diversity crosses and reorganizes entire educational area on global coordinates and, at the same time, embraces local specificity in terms of consistency and intensity. That is why we register an increased level of coherency regarding speeches on this theme and the proposed standards, while regarding the theory-practice balance, there are still enough discontinuities.
