This manuscript briefly presents some aspects about multiculturalism and its influences on education. The objective of manuscript was to study the relevance of learning regarding the characteristics of multiculturalism for school education. It is a work done through bibliographic studies. The theoretical background comes from scholars such as Del Priore (2008); Canen (2007); Werneck (2008) etc. The knowledge about multiculturalism and its socioeconomic and socio-cultural dynamics is of vital importance to students of primary and secondary education, both in Brazil and in the world. It is through the perception of the coexistence between different cultures and their differences that the new generations may become more tolerant and sensitive to issues related to social life, respect for others and human dignity.
