Care In Education

 Care in education is to show unconditional support to all students regardless of ethnic background, gender and sexual identify. When we talk about care in education many people think is just to be there physically and teach but care in education is more than just being physically present. Care in education is to constantly look/search for ways to make students feel accepted and wanted.
