A study on the need to strengthen multicultural education using assimilationism and harmonize multicultural policies for development

South Korea's population is decreasing due to low birth rate and aging population. On the other hand, the number of multicultural families is gradually increasing. In this situation, South Korea needs to preserve and pass on Korean values to future generations and at the same time promote policies that are receptive to change and change for the benefit of the country and the people. Assimilationism refers to learning about cultures that historically have been held by the majority and are considered spiritually important and education using assimilationism is necessary and should be respected in the future. At the same time, policies that can achieve harmony in a developmental direction should be promoted while providing multicultural education through assimilationism. Countries such as the United States, Australia and Canada are also pursuing integrated policies based on assimilationism and policies that recognize and respect diversity. South Korea should utilize assimilationism in a positive direction to implement multicultural education and promote policies that embrace diversity while respecting Korean values.
