The education system is just one niche that experiences challenges from cultural diversity, and this is mostly due to a lack of knowledge and a reluctance to accept diversity. In this study, we will look at the impact of cultural conflict in education and review the various multicultural policies implemented in Canada’s education system over the years.
Canadian universities have become some of the most ethnoculturally diverse globally, owing to immigration and a massive enrollment of international students. However, as one would expect, the differences between different cultures are not always appreciated. In education specifically, Canada has had a history of implementing culturally discriminating policies, with conflict also arising among students in the present.
