Education in a Democratic and Multi-Cultural Nigerian State: An Assessment

Abstract

The work highlighted a multicultural approach to ethical issues in school, as Nigerian in its heterogeneous nature and democratic tenets will stand a better position to fight ethnocentrism and racism that often result from ignorance of other people’s and culture. The essence of multicultural education can be seen from the perspective of cultural tolerance and complementarity. By a way of recommendation, the paper made a strong moral case for inclusive disclosure of different ethical viewpoints of different cultures in Nigeria as a democratic society. Such an approach fosters respect for the values and beliefs of other people and respect is generally accepted by most culture as a moral value. All these should be reflected in the school.
