Implementation of Multicultural Education Based on Local Wisdom for High School Students

Given that Indonesia is a heterogeneous society, its rich cultural heritage has to be protected. Unfortunately, pupils' multicultural education is now of poor quality. Cultural differences lead to a lot of differences. Giving high school (SMA) students an overview of the value of diversity and the implementation of multicultural education based on local expertise is therefore one feasible approach. A literature review is part of the qualitative research methodology that is being employed. The method used for data analysis is descriptive qualitative. The study's findings demonstrate the critical importance of intercultural education for pupils. Teachers in high school need to create a curriculum that incorporates intercultural education using knowledge from the community. This is a constructive way to help pupils develop intercultural and nationalistic views from an early age. The goal of wisdom-based intercultural education is to help develop children's moral character by preparing them to accept, comprehend, and show respect for individuals of diverse racial, socioeconomic, and religious origins. The younger generation has to be trained and made aware of the need of multicultural education in high school in order for them to embrace and value the diversity of all cultures.
