How is Cultural Competence Integrated in Education?

Operationalizing Cultural Competence in School Settings:
The knowledge developed regarding culture and cultural dynamics, must be integrated into every facet of a school, program, or agency. Staff must be trained, and effectively utilize the knowledge gained. Administrators should develop policies that are responsive to cultural diversity. Program materials should reflect positive images of all people, and be valid for use with each group. Fully integrated cultural knowledge may affect global changes in human service delivery. For example, educational institutions and accreditation bodies might develop cultural competence standards to ensure teacher and administrator preparation. Then these same professionals could collaborate with families to develop school policies that reinforce culturally familiar values to improve children's behavior. The culturally competent teachers might use these policies to avoid more expensive interventions. When interventions do become necessary, family and community input on cultural issues might be used in determining effective treatment. Institutionalized cultural knowledge can enhance an organization's ability to serve diverse populations

As much as I learned and experienced, in Japan and South Korea, students pay respect to their seniors - sempai (Japan) and sonbae (Korea) - and they would most likely pick smart seniors as role model to receive advice, feedback or tutoring at times, and try hard. I think that's good point. Can anyone correct me?

Based on my understanding of the topic(do correct me if i'm wrong) , it's about instilling cultural values in the education system right? Over here, we have moral and religious studies that provide a sound foundation for cultural competence. We also have RIMUP, a program that brings together students from all cultures to create a better understanding of each others cultures and heritage.

based on my understanding on the topic, it primarily evolves in knowing and understanding different culture (probably of different walks of life, races) in my country, especially in our school, we have subjects like History, Geography, and Literature grouped accoring to continents with the aid of computer-aided softwares especially for literature, and film showings and documentaries for history and geography. By this, we learn and understand other countries, culture.

Yes you are right, this idea mainly came up to share the knowledge beyond borders.
