Abstract
This paper establishes an external theoretical base for multicultural education, then examines the concept within the local environment. It reviews relevant policy statements and the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) history syllabus against the background of the objectives of multicultural education. It also locates the discussion within the context of classroom practice in Trinidad and Tobago through the description of a research project in which three history teachers attempted to spell out, in practical terms, the relationship between multiculturalism and history teaching.
