definition: Multicultural education has been a feature of Australian educational policies, programs, and debates for 4 decades. The education of two generations of students has been influenced by multicultural approaches reflecting changing educational priorities and responses to international and national economic and political trends, against a background of increasing diversity in the nation's population resulting from migration.
