The supporting factors for the implementation of multicultural-based education at SMA Negeri 1 Pamekasan are school climate, school curriculum, facilities and infrastructure, the role of teachers, school programs and activities. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor is the adherence to the principles of the Madurese community, namely "lēbbi bhēghus pote tolang katembhâng pote matah" which means "it is better to die than to be ashamed".
