CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

• INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS OF EDUCATION IN

THE 21ST CENTURY. THE EDUCATION PROCESS SHOULD AIM TO EDUCATE AND PREPARE
CITIZENS FOR LIVING IN A MULTICULTURAL AND DIVERSE WORLD AND WORKING IN
MULTICULTURAL AND DIVERSE ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES. THIS AIM CANNOT
BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION. (TABATADZE, 2010).
• REDUCING ETHNOCENTRISM AND INCREASING INTERCULTURAL SENSITIVITY WOULD
IMMENSELY HELP TO CREATE A BETTER SOCIETY OF DIVERSITY, EQUALITY JUSTICE AND
DEMOCRACY.

• SINCE GLOBALIZATION REQUIRES PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS TO

COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY, BEING A GLOBAL CITIZEN HAS BECOME ONE OF THE
FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATIONAL GOALS. AS A RESULT, RESEARCHERS DISCUSS THAT
CULTURAL COMPETENCE IS QUINTESSENTIAL IN EMPOWERING HUMAN BEINGS TO LIVE
AND WORK WITH PEOPLE FROM UNIQUE CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS.
•THE RESEARCHERS WOULD LIKE TO DETERMINE THE CULTURAL
COMPETENCE AMONG SELECTED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
IN TABANGO NORTH DISTRICT SO AS TO EQUIP THE EDUCATORS
WITH CULTURAL COMPETENCE BY COMING UP WITH
DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS A DISTRICT-WIDE
WEBINAR.
