This study aims to identify teachers' practices and strategies in fostering multicultural values among third-grade students at Ban Iso School, Narathiwat, with a focus on Islamic religious education, which plays a role in shaping character and attitudes of tolerance toward differences. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and observations of teachers and students and analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that teachers at Ban Iso School implement strategies such as contextual approaches, group discussions, case studies, and the use of inspirational stories to instill multicultural values. Students demonstrate a good understanding of diversity and can interact harmoniously. However, challenges such as limited teaching materials and a lack of teacher training need to be addressed. Therefore, strengthening the curriculum, enhancing teacher training, and involving parents in inclusive education are essential to optimizing the formation of students’ character to be tolerant and appreciative of diversity in a multicultural society.
