✓ An inclusive approach to cultural diversity in government policy, school curriculum, life
style, and popular understanding of a certain country.
✓ Multicultural literacy is adapted from the work of Hirsch (1988), transformation from the
concepts of exclusivity to inclusivity.
✓ According to the Ministry of Education (2013), culture goes much deeper than typical
understandings of ethnicity, race and/or faith. It encompasses broad notions of similarity
and difference.
✓ Hence, one of the key practices in the classroom for multicultural literacy is for teachers
to not be colorblind, label students, or use negative connotations in relation to diverse
backgrounds.

cultural awareness.
✓ It is through this that multicultural literacy is intended to address the complex issues
within today's society
