ABSTRACT = {The study aimed to establish the effect of Multicultural Teaching Competency (MTC) on the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) of RME teachers in Cape Coast. The cross-sectional survey design was used. All 150 RME teachers in the 54 schools in Cape Coast were involved in the study through the census method and a 33-item close-ended structured questionnaire was used for the data collection exercise. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential (Factorial ANOVA and PLS-SEM) statistics. Results revealed that RME teachers have a high level of MTC and CRT even though the students seem not to show interest in the subject leading to them failing in their final examinations. There was a statistically significant effect of RME teachers’ sex, academic qualification, teaching experience, and professional qualification on their MTC F (30, 4) = 7.142, p = .000, partial ƞ2 =.643 and CRT, F (30, 4) = 3.874, p = .000*, partial ƞ2 = .494. The result showed that RME teachers' MTC substantially explained 61.2% of the variation in their CRT. It was recommended that GES and the Metropolitan Education office should provide ongoing professional development opportunities specifically focused on translating MTC principles into actionable strategies.},
