Pendidikan Multikultural dalam Konsepsi Filsafat Pendidikan Islam: Analisis Segresi Sosial di Lingkungan Pendidikan
Multicultural education from the perspective of Islamic educational philosophy becomes an important solution to the phenomenon of social segregation in the Indonesian educational environment. This article discusses the urgency of implementing multicultural education to create social justice and equality, emphasizing the importance of integrating Islamic values such as tolerance, justice, and compassion. The theological foundation of multicultural education in Islam is reflected in the principles of "li ta'arafu" and "rahmatan lil 'alamin," which encourage appreciation for diversity as a divine law. However, the reality in Indonesia still shows the existence of segregation based on religion and ethnicity, both in school structures and social interactions. Therefore, the systemic and sustainable implementation of multicultural education is essential to address discrimination, strengthen moderate Islamic identity, and build an inclusive and harmonious society amidst diversity. This article recommends the transformation of educational policies and practices into a more just and inclusive system.

The Role of Inclusive Education in Developing the Potential of Children with Special Needs in Pakistan
One of the primary issues confronting Pakistan's educational system is the lack of access to quality education for children with special needs. Traditional educational practices in the country have historically been exclusionary, with children with disabilities often being marginalized or completely left out of the mainstream education system. The study aims to investigate the role of inclusive education in developing the potential of children with special needs in Pakistan by examining how inclusive practices impact their academic and social development. Using a qualitative approach, the study included in-depth interviews, focus group discussions with educators, parents, and policymakers, and case studies of successful inclusive education programs. The study findings reveal that while inclusive education policies exist, their implementation could be more consistent, with significant challenges related to resource allocation, teacher training, and stakeholder perceptions. Despite these challenges, inclusive education has shown potential in improving academic performance and social integration for children with special needs. The study highlights the need for enhanced training, better resource management, and increased community engagement to support inclusive practices effectively. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of inclusive education's practical and theoretical aspects, providing insights for future policy improvements and research directions in the Pakistani context.
