Jaurena, Ines Gil
Intercultural Education, v21 n4 p299-315 Aug 2010
This paper examines educational practices in Spain and in particular Madrid. With this contextual frame as the starting point the following issues are discussed: the "official" conceptualization of cultural diversity, educational policies and resolutions related to cultural diversity, and school programs and resources facilitated by educational authorities to address diversity. The analysis was undertaken using an intercultural approach. (Contains 16 notes and 4 tables.)
