Since 1990s, due to&nbsp;the steady democratization processes of&nbsp;these societies, the social diversity has been&nbsp;reemerged again in this region, gaining&nbsp;special significance at the time of the EU joining and integration. It is stated&nbsp;that changes in society are undoubtedly linked with changes in education.&nbsp;The purpose of this article is to present a context in which the multicultural&nbsp;education has become a domain of the public policies in the V4 with special&nbsp;attention paid to the needs of contemporary societies which are becoming more<br>and more diversified due to the arrival of economic migrants. The author strives&nbsp;&nbsp;to answer the question: should multicultural aspects remain only a theoretical&nbsp;approach to the education or should they be within the domain of the public&nbsp;social cohesion policy.</p> ER -
