Abstract

Diversity, recognized as a symbol of modernization, plays a crucial role in shaping societal progress. Educational institutions are key players in preparing future generations to become open-minded individuals who embrace global citizenship. However, increased interaction among diverse individuals in modern society demands a greater understanding of differences, as the lack of inclusion can lead to confrontation and violence. This necessitates the need for education to foster inclusion and reduce conflicts. Drawing on existing research in the field of diversity in educational settings, this paper identifies three main types of diversity: structural, curriculum, and interactional diversity. By examining these dimensions, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of diversity’s implications. Exposing students to diversity fosters empathy and respect for different viewpoints, equipping them with critical thinking skills that challenge preconceived notions. Furthermore, this paper provides valuable guidance for educators and policymakers in developing strategies to achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion.
