However, most Canadian schools do not adequately incorporate multicultural practices into their daily operations. Attempts have been made to increase the diversity of teaching in many schools; however, these attempts have been relatively unsuccessful due to a plethora of issues that plague the development of multicultural education. Teacher preparation programs, curriculum development, and student learning environments are a few areas that must be completely overhauled in order to implement multicultural education in Canadian classrooms.  \nCanada is known as a cultural mosaic because it celebrates the diversity of its citizens. As a result of the influx of new Canadians, today’s classrooms include many students who have different backgrounds. Despite the growing number of culturally diverse students, the Canadian curriculum still represents a predominantly Eurocentric point of view (Jay, 2003) . Efforts such asthe inclusion of Aboriginal perspectives have been made to incorporate culturally sensitive teachings into the curriculum. However, most Canadian schools do not recognize the diverse nature of their students. The following three areas are critical to understanding the dynamics of multicultural education in Canada today: (1) the importance of multicultural education, (2) current issues in multicultural education, and (3) requirements for providing multicultural education.  \nThe Importance of Multicultural Education  \nBecause Canada is a multicultural society, logic dictates that it must have multicultural schools. Multicultural education is important because it addresses controversial issues such as discrimination, racism, colonialism, and imperialism (McDonough, 2008) . Education has been used to teach about these issues in a democratic fashion. When it is properly implemented in schools, multicultural education can reduce racism, prejudice, and the discrimination of oppressed groups (Jay, 2003) . Multicultural education also helps to build personal dignity while promoting the democratic ideals of society (Campbell , 2003) . Furthermore, it can be used as a tool to ensure equal access to school and equal opportunities in school.  \nCurrent Issues in Multicultural Education  \nMulticultural education has been in the foreground for nearly thirty years (Manitoba Education, n.d.); however, its practice and theory are still worlds apart. This disparity could be due to the lack of consensus over how multicultural education should be addressed in Canada (Chan, 2006) . Multicultural education can be taught as a distinct subject or incorporated into individual classes. Teaching multicultural education as a discrete subject requires specific teacher training, similarly to other subjects such as mathematics and science. Because educators are unsure about how to present multicultural education, it has not had a noteworthy impact on today’s youth (Jay, 2003) . Peck et al. (2008) noted that junior high students in New Brunswick had very little understanding of the concept of ethnic diversity, and they did not think that ethnic diversity existed in Canada. Therefore, the ideals of a multicultural Canada may not be taught or adequately represented in Canadian schools. Three main concerns impede the  \npractice of multicultural education in Canada: teachers, curricular problems, and power struggles.  \nThe main concern regarding teachers is that they lack the training and experience required to teach diverse students (Chan, 2006) . The gap between the cultural backgrounds of students and teachers is widening. Educators are left to teach about cultures with which they are unfamiliar (Jeevanantham, 2001), such as when a non-Aboriginal teacher is expected to incorporate Aboriginal perspectives into social studies lessons. Most teachers do not have the ","cbCaiceHyH9Rbj2p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiceHyH9Rbj2p","pdf",238348,"English","# Abstract\n## The Importance of Multicultural Education\n## Current Issues in Multicultural Education","[{\"question\":\"Why does the paper argue that multicultural education is increasingly needed in Canada?\",\"answer\":\"It links Canada’s rising diversity to the need for schooling that addresses discrimination, racism, colonialism, and imperialism.
