ABSTRACT
Given that the challenges of teaching in a multicultural classroom face most teachers in late modern society, this chapter considers the questions of values and moral relativism in multicultural education. Specifically, it considers the question whether, in a multicultural classroom characterised by numerous competing values and moral norms, we must accept moral relativism, or whether there are any values and ethics to which we can expect all participants in the educational process, whatever their cultural background, to be committed.
