ABSTRACT
The purpose of this chapter is to present and discuss the history and practice of cross-cultural education in Greece. “Cross-cultural education”1 is the offi cial term for the model of educational policy attempted in Greece as a response to the apparent diversity of student population in public schools over the last two decades. The chapter describes this type of education and discusses its appropriateness in the Greek context. Discussion also focuses on a conceptualization of cross-cultural education as a social policy for inclusion and on the implications of this policy on the process of social inclusion and the recognition of targeted students.
