What are the benefits of cultural education in higher institutions of learning?

Cultural values represent unique identities for a specific country, communities or groups of people.  Benefits of cultural education include (not exhaustive list):

But we also need to beware not to over do it i.e. using cultural education as a means to "brain wash", assimilate instead of to integrate various cultural values etc.

Culture is the historian of the past, the teacher of the present and the researcher for the future...Dickson Adom

Because most of the students there are more diverse in terms of religion, culture, scientific level, mental and more mature, Cultural education is therefore very important

Regards Prof Adom ( missing you around !!)

Hi,

It is important to teach culture to our students to cultivate their history of the past and take benefit from the errors done to correct them and move forward. Without culture and history , we can not make any type of progress.

If you mean education Cross cultural !!

It gives intellectual and cultural openness to other societies.

Abuse with new learning systems.

New ideas and opinions allow self-criticism and self-assessment.

That can be a great initiative. I think all country should allow for cultural learning that will boost the knowledge and understanding of youth. 

Building of a university student depends on many many factors, not only the pure scientific issue, never, but in association with other parameters like cultural sides, sport, art, increasing self confidence, .. etc. It is exactly similar to  a cube with six opposite faces and each particular face complement the other faces and it is impossible to remove or exclude any one but with slight difference in areas! I thing it more convenient to simulate student as multi face geometric locus and one of these faces is the cultural education mentioned in this impressive question.

From cultural education, students learn to reflect upon their own culture, culture of others and culture in general. Cultural education is important because it helps students to learn and to function in a culture which has not one clear identity ready for them. Cultural education should be given from the earliest stage of education for children. However, it is also necessary at higher institutions because cultural factors include different degrees of difficulties to understand.

University becomes hetrogeneous and cosmopolitian.

Contemporary higher education MUST include cultural education and languages. It builds bridges, not walls. This means better understanding, better collaboration, better research culture...

Dear @Dickson, thanks for another shared question.

I have taken part in some similar discussions. The links follow.

Well Dickson , "Culture" is hard to understand , nope not seen but practices . I guess that is why it needs to be understood. Benefits is to be more open minded  and accommodating of others. 

Well, I try one way , that is eat all kinds of (vegetarian ) food from Ethiopia (I have friend) to Jordan , not ignore Cheese cake (NewYork ) 

Dear Prof. Aparna,

Dear brother Prof. Salam,

I am very appreciative of your contribution to the discussion. You are right on point when you say the diversities in the culture and religious dispositions of the student body call for cultural education that would bridge and improve the social relations between students and lecturers. Thank you so much, my brother.

Dear Prof. Arwa,

How colorful and relevant your arguments are! Indeed, our future progress depends largely on knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the past which is through cultural education.

Thanks for your great opinion. The cosmopolitan nature of universities calls for cultural education that I presume would foster the social and professional relations between students and lecturers from the various ethnic and religious cultures of the world. Best regards

A great contribution from Prof. Hasan Keleş

Dear Dickson Adom,

I thank you for sharing your question with me.

Cultures are the clothes of nature dressed for people.   People share them with their internal factors, Interact, protect, develop, extract. In fact, it surrounds your future with higher education.

Dear Prof. Hasan,

I am appreciative of the beautiful illustration that highlights the benefits of cultural education- It should be like the clothes we wear and our future depends on it. Thank you

Dear @Dickson, this is very fine article, relevant to your research question!

WHY MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION IS MORE IMPORTANT IN HIGHER EDUCATION NOW THAN EVER: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE!

Multicultural education is an approach to teaching and learning that is based on democratic values that affirm cultural pluralism within culturally diverse societies in an interdependent world...

http://www.nationalforum.com/Electronic%20Journal%20Volumes/Ameny-Dixon,%20Gloria%20M.%20Why%20Multicultural%20Education%20is%20More%20Important%20in%20Higher%20Education%20Now%20than%20Ever.pdf

I agree with the view of Prof. Han Ping.

Cultural education especially for other cultures in bigger countries help candidates find job as sometimes condition that candidates must have knowledge of customs and dialects of that region must be satisfied. It's useful for country like India where 100 of languages and cultures are there.

Increasingly, man must look to the roots for a holistic view of knowledge to avoid its limitation of action. This inclusion is imperative, since anthropocentrism must be rational and critical.

Dear Prof. Ljubomir,

Thanks immensely for the rich information you have offered on the subject. Best regards

Hello 

As the world becomes more complex and the ideas of terrorism is everywhere, we really need to spread the ideas of love and respect all over the world.  We are obliged to teach our students that all cultures must be respected and that all people in the world need a chance to live in peace.
