Abstract
This chapter asserts the value of access to quality multicultural education as a human right, in which all students are entitled to a quality education that is multicultural. Based on a foundation of relevant human rights declarations, we discuss how multicultural education can benefit from rooting itself in human rights principles: the right to learn about oneself, to learn about others, and to learn citizenship skills associated with a deep democracy in a global age.
