Promoting Cultural Diversity Through National History Education

Keywords: history, school, customs

Abstract

In contemporary academia, schools are recognized as pivotal institutions across nations, imparting not only knowledge but also essential life skills that lay the groundwork for an individual’s future trajectory. Given their significance, educational institutions consistently receive heightened attention across diverse global contexts. Countries, such as Uzbekistan, present a rich tapestry of multiculturalism with over 130 distinct ethnic groups cohabiting and contributing to its diverse traditions, customs, rituals, and religious practices. This research emphasizes the salience of integrating cultural diversity education, anchored in the national history of Uzbekistan, within the school curriculum. Fieldwork for this study was predominantly conducted in the Samarkand region, an area marked by its vibrant ethnic diversity, including Uzbeks, Tajiks, Iranians, Russians, and Tatars, each group possessing distinct customs, traditions, and religious beliefs. Such diversity, while enriching, presents educators with the challenge of addressing a heterogeneous student demographic.
