The purpose of this paper is to suggest the objectives, achievement standards, teaching materials, and teaching-learning methods in the English National Curriculum based on multicultural education. In order to achieve this purpose, the theoretical grounds for multicultural education are reviewed, and the 2007 English National Curriculum is analysed. It was argued that the objectives, teaching materials, and teaching-learning methods are to revised considering multicultural education, because helping students learn to understand multiple perspectives on events and phenomena is critical to citizenship education, and learners should be engaged in multicultural education. Furthermore, it was analysed that the components of the 2007 National Curriculum Revised are necessary but not sufficient for a comprehensive multicultural education in primary and secondary schools. Thus, in this paper, the directions of revising the English national curriculum considering multicultural education are suggested systematically and efficiently.
