The purpose of the study is to find out to what extent the concept of diversity is included in the entire curriculum and in chapters two and four of the curricula and how Schiro's four different ideologies emerge in the same chapters. The values are the basis for the entire curriculum and the entire basic education is based on it. Basic work and work with diversity are cornerstones in the school's work with all students. The curriculum is constantly researched in order to be able to develop and use it in the best possible way. Previous studies show that Finland does extensive curricula work and there is a solid working group behind both the national curriculum, but also the municipal curricula. The study is a qualitative content analysis of partly the curriculum in its entirety and chapters two and four of the national curriculum, as well as Helsinki, Espoo and Kirkkonummi curricula. The analysis is made by searching for the word diversity and an interpretation of how Schiro's four curriculum ideologies appear in the chapters concerned. The concept of diversity was included on a broad front throughout the curricula but varied greatly in chapters two and four. Schiro's four ideologies are all visible in one way or another in all four curricula, but above all the student centered ideology is visible.
