Multiculturalism and Integration: Challenges, Strategies and Prospects of Students Integration in Educational Environment and Society

Abstract

The study presents arguments on multiculturalism and integration and aims to look into the challenges, strategies, and prospects of the students integration in the educational environment and society. Reasonable literature exists on its different aspects and the assumed relationship of multiculturalism and academic integration into the educational environment in different countries. The existing literature was identified to review and discuss the concerning arguments on the issue. Different strategies have been reviewed to acculturate with the main emphasis on academic integration before focusing on the interplay of the processes of multiculturalism and integration and the probability for students integration in the academic culture. It was found that multiculturalism and integration interplay in varying ways, and there is a likelihood that students can integrate into a multicultural environment of an educational institute where culturally diverse groups of the students respect diversity and intercultural strategies supported by the host institute which helps them integrate.
