Besides this, developing the group of people with cultural mix and promoting the proper socio cultural integration has also helped me to catalyse the development of safe and supportive learning environment for the people of diverse cultural background.

I will also help the students with the physical disability to get extra support and care along with equal and fair chance to showcase their skill set and knowledge. The following of different legal obligations and policy measures will help me to have a better handling of the learning process for the group of people from diverse background.
