Abstract
This research was carried out in Ceuta, Spain, with the aim of understanding leader’s perceptions of multicultural education, their role as leaders and the educative environment of their centres. The city of Ceuta is exceptional: four major cultures coexist in this city (Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu), along with a fifth negligible minority (Gypsy). The special features of this city demand an educative treatment in consonance with the students’ peculiarities. However, there is no evidence of any significant curricular adaptation which allows us to talk about an intercultural curriculum. The ideas and beliefs that the headmasters have about multicultural education are not mirrored in 33.33% of the elementary schools and 40% of the secondary schools in Ceuta. All of the headmasters highly valued their role as leaders, even though not all of them recognised it widely. Secondary school headmasters had more charisma and greater intellectual stimulation. Primary school headmasters stand out for their concern for the teacher participation.
