5.2 CONCLUSION
Having done the research and written the paper on, the practices in diversity management of the 
secondary schools of Fitche Town, the research has arrived at the following conclusions. 
• There are a variety of ways in which the presence and practices of diversity can impact school 
and students‘ performance.
• School administrators tried to manage diversity issues in line with the conditions they have 
faced. 
• It is better equipping the prospective teachers and leaders with the cultural competence 
necessary for teaching in a multicultural setting.
• Almost all the schools usually used their rules and regulations to manage diversity in various 
situations
• It is necessary to incorporate basic components of multi-ethnic and multicultural education into 
the general national curriculum framework and the specific professional courses in an integrated 
manner.
• Moreover, while attempting to do justice to all the cultures of the nations and nationalities of 
Ethiopia, for the sake of manageability, it is important to incorporate the cultures of at least the 
major ethnic groups. 
• School administrators‘ effort concerning managing diversity was appreciable but not pertaining 
for better future of students. It was just focusing on solving the actual conflicts.
