Additionally, the limited number of religious education teachers in schools further exacerbates this challenge, making the inculcation of multicultural education a serious issue. The technical ability of teachers, especially those who struggle to operate technology, is a practical problem that needs immediate resolution. The methodology used in this article is qualitative descriptive, drawing from various literature sources to support the study. Based on the discussion, it is concluded that persuasive communication in multicultural education can change the attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs of individuals or groups regarding certain issues, particularly in multicultural education.
