<![CDATA[The focus of this article is to examine Will Kymlicka’s thoughts on the concept of multicultural citizenship and to analyze its relevance to Indonesia’s pluralistic education system. Kymlicka emphasizes the importance of recognizing the cultural identities of minority groups within the framework of a democratic nation-state. The aim of this paper is to explore his ideas and reconstruct a shared awareness in understanding education in Indonesia. In the context of Indonesia’s multicultural society, this approach becomes significant in fostering an inclusive collective consciousness and ensuring social justice for all ethnic, religious, and cultural groups. This article employs a qualitative approach through literature review of Kymlicka’s works and analysis of educational policies and practices in Indonesia. The results of the analysis show that the application of multicultural citizenship principles can strengthen civic education that is democratic, tolerant, and equitable. Education that is responsive to diversity not only supports social cohesion but also serves as a vital foundation for maintaining national unity amid complex identities. Therefore, integrating multicultural values into the curriculum and learning process is an urgent necessity in the national education system.]]>
