Chapter 12: Educational Achievement in a Multicultural Context: Diverse Demographics with Shared Family Values

This study is to evaluate the needs and possibility for contemporary families with diverse objective cultural backgrounds to develop similar ideals and values for successful practices in children education. This evaluation is conducted to address the critical question faced by educators in contemporary, multicultural and international societies: Whether and to what extent children with diverse—and frequently disadvantageous—objective family backgrounds may achieve designated national standards of educational achievement. Toward this evaluation goal, this paper will address the need for families to foster appropriate developmental goals and expectations for children to attain maximal benefits from the uniform educational ideals, objectives and practices.
