Special on World Day for Cultural Diversity: Inclusive education and differentiated instruction be carried out - Quotes and haiku


Coordinated by UNESCO 'World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development' is observed on 21st May every year. UNESCO Chief, Audrey Azoulay, has called upon everyone to celebrate cultural diversity to build the intellectual and moral solidarity of humankind.
