Multilingual education has long been implemented and addressed in recent years in China, as a nation multi-ethnicities. The prominent ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity make the situation of multilingual education in China complex. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an overview of the situation of multilingual education in China to first present the full status-quo situation to educators and researchers, to provide basis for relevant teaching practice and research and to pave the way for further in-depth research. The paper first provides an overview of the situation of Chinese multilingualism, and presents ethnic multilingual policies and practices in China in general, then particularly focuses on the practice of multilingual education in Guizhou minority areas.

Abstract This paper is based on feminist studies from a post-structuralist perspective and it aims to discuss how categories such as gender and diversity are conceptually and methodologically added in the agenda of basic education teacher training policy based on education for diversity, titled Projeto Gênero e Diversidade na Escola [Gender and Diversity in School Project] (GDE). Four GDE guiding documents between 2007 and 2011 were analyzed. A cultural analysis was carried out to argue about the unintelligibility of gender and diversity education proposed by organized politics based on how sexual and cultural diversity are treated, as well as sex and gender binarism. Its limits and potentialities were tested as a State-based agenda for a certain purpose and governance at the expense of the production of (un)viable bodies.
