This research method uses a literature study approach, data is collected through books, journal articles, policy documents, and academic publication data. Data was analyzed using content analysis techniques by examining various scientific sources relevant to education policies, multicultural implementation models, and digital social dynamics in society. The results of the study show that national policies and curricula play an important role as a foundation for integrating multicultural values, while schools and Islamic boarding schools are the main focus in getting used to the values of tolerance and learning practices. However, the era of digital globalization has created new challenges that can threaten the formation of a tolerant character of students. Therefore, strengthening multicultural education needs to be accompanied by critical digital literacy and collaboration between institutions to be able to create an educational ecosystem that is adaptive to the times.
