The birthing of ME

“We may have different religions, different languages, different coloured skin, but we belong to one race, the human race.” Kofi Annan

Each person is created unique and it is this individual uniqueness that makes diversity in humanity: when there is a show of difference or great variety. To address these differences, a movement called multiculturalism was formed. The purpose of the movement was to the recognise and support for the presence of, several distinct cultural or ethnic groups within a society. This movement gave birth Multicultural Education (ME).

Multicultural education is defined as any form of education or teaching that incorporates the histories, texts, values, beliefs, and perspectives of people from different cultural backgrounds. At the classroom level, for example, teachers may modify or incorporate lessons to reflect the cultural diversity of the students in a particular class. In many cases, “culture” is defined in the broadest possible sense, encompassing race, ethnicity, nationality, language, religion, class, gender, sexual orientation, and “exceptionality”—a term applied to students with specialised needs or disabilities.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
