For Multicultural UK and its education
Multicultural characteristic is a fantastical tail all-inclusitvely welcoming all peaceful people and sopporting their endeavored fields, without the prejudices from races, genders,vocations, social positions, situations, ages, politics and religions... only if they can use hearts to do things 'good', in diversity...
That's what UK academy & Education attracts many people all around the world... I have been always believing in it for long...
When I click on the video link it says " page not found". Could we have access to the video? Thank you for the lesson plan
