Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Indonesia is a country with a very wide diversity of cultures, religions, ethnicities, and languages. In the midst of this plurality, basic education plays an important role in shaping the character of the younger generation who is tolerant and inclusive. This article aims to explain the role of Elementary School (SD) as a model of cultural institution in building tolerance from an early age. SD is not only a knowledge transmission institution, but also as a socializing agent of cultural values, where students learn to live together in differences. This article reviews the implementation strategy of multicultural education in the elementary school environment through an inclusive curriculum approach, active learning methods, teacher guidance, strengthening school culture, and collaboration with parents and the community. In addition, this article discusses the challenges faced such as limited teacher competence and dominant cultural bias, as well as presenting concrete solutions. The results of the analysis show that SD has great potential to become an effective cultural institution in instilling the values of tolerance, equality, justice, and respect for diversity if supported by a systematic and collaborative strategy.
