The study aims to analyze modern scientific approaches to multicultural education of autochthons, migrants, and foreign students to assess the real state and prospects of such education development in Russia. The 2019 RPORC (Russian Public Opinion Research Center) survey “Higher education: in Russia or abroad?” was used in the study. A total of 1,600 respondents took part in the study. Based on the Pareto Optimality principle, a model of an integrated multicultural education process has been developed. Survey data analysis has shown that for the majority of Russians (78%) it is not important whether their children/grandchildren will receive higher education abroad. Russian society has a tolerant attitude towards domestic and world educational systems. The practical application of the research results is possible with the improvement of training programs, the exchange of international experience and further research into the problems of multicultural education development.

The article is devoted to the problem of professional training of future specialists in a multicultural society. The author analyzes researches and publications on this topic. The author notes that in the era of globalization, when the separate existence of different people and cultures becomes impossible, when there is a question of combining national values, there is a rethinking of goals and objectives of education and it becomes clear that the current content of education does not sufficiently fulfill the needs of society. New paradigms of education are discussed, and such concepts as multicultural education, culturological approach and intercultural competence are used. According to the National Doctrine of Education Development of Ukraine, the main goal of education is to form a high culture of interethnic relations of future specialist who is ready to intercultural interaction. The multinational society is an integral feature of the modern developing world. The growing awareness of the increasing social confrontation in the world between the growing level of the multinational society where people live and work, and their unpreparedness for these changes have led to the need for proper training. Today, it is important to establish positive relations between people in a multinational society. Professional training is defined as a system of organizational and pedagogical activities. It ensures the formation of a person's professional orientation, knowledge, skills, abilities and readiness for professional activity. Intercultural competence is the ability to recognize, respect and effectively use differences in the perception, thinking and behavior both in your own culture and foreign culture. The formation of intercultural competence in the process of training for professional activity in a multinational society presupposes readiness to interact with other systems of cultural orientation and is based on respect other cultural values.

This research is a literature study related to problems, the role and function of education planning in Indonesia. Data collection was carried out through various sources that can be used in relation to the problems of Islamic multicultural education in Indonesia. In searching some literature using a search engine or maybe it is easier to index any type of document. For example, we use Google Scholar with a query containing Social Network clauses, of course the number of clauses will be generated with a list of related documents. The conclusion in this study is that the existence of problems in education in Indonesia also causes constraints in education planning in Indonesia. The education system in Indonesia must be planned by considering various things. Planning is an activity to see the future in terms of determining policies, priorities and costs of education by prioritizing the existing realities in the economic, social and political fields to develop the state education system and students served by this system. This means that in planning the national education system must consider economic, social, political and cultural factors. The education system in our country has undergone many changes, this may be due to educational planning that does not understand the aspects involved in it, so that our national education system is unable to match the conditions of Indonesian society and the resulting graduates are not relevant to the needs of the workforce. This makes it difficult for our country's human resources (HR) to compete with foreign human resources. The functions and roles of educational planning are as follows: 1) As a guide for the implementation of educational development activities. 2) As a means of controlling the implementation of education development. 3) As a tool to ensure the quality of educational development. 4) As a means of achieving educational goals effectively and efficiently. 5) As a means to ensure the smooth achievement of educational development goals. 6) As a means of clarifying the vision, mission and strategy of education development. 7) As a logical and systematic tool to change the education system for the better.
