EFFORTS TO FORM INDONESIAN NATIONAL CHARACTER THROUGH MULTICULTURAL EDUCATIONIndonesian society is very diverse with various tribes, races, customs, classes, groups and religions. To the extent that these differences are recognized and understood, this situation actually makes sense. However, when differences arise and disturb the harmony of life, the differences must be resolved.

A society or nation will never progress without education, so it becomes less or even uncivilized. Education is also the process of improving a person's human resources to improve their social abilities and develop reciprocity between themselves, society and the surrounding cultural environment. The relevant methods that can be applied in Indonesia are as follows: 1. Contribution Approach, 2. Additive Approach 3. Transformation Approach 4. Social Action Approach.
