Résumé

Multiculturalism is the latest in a series of ideologies which have been developed to control the social and political consequences of cultural and linguistic pluralism in Australian society. Education is seen as the key element in achieving a multicultural attitude. The paper argues that, on the manifest level, there has been a transition from migrant to multicultural education, but that, on the latent level, forces favouring the status qua have led to a de facto 'ethnic' education stream within the education system.
