Description: | The Centre for Multicultural Education was set up in the late 1980s following a report on Multicultural Education from a working party convened by Leicestershire County Council.
One of the briefs was to provide an exemplar collection of multicultural & anti-racist curriculum resources for teachers working in Leicestershire Schools. The Centre was established at Rushey Mead Primary School and moved to the Melbourne Centre ca 1993. Following local government reorganisation, in 1997, the running of the Centre was taken over by Leicester City Council who moved us to Forest Lodge Education Centre which already housed the RE collection. We continued to serve Leicestershire County schools for a couple of years until the County set up their own centre at Quorn Hall.
In the early 1990s the Language Support Service joined the Multicultural Education Service and we began to collect resources relating to English as an Additional Language (EAL) and bilingualism. | Source: | MLA Institutions Server | Address: | Eastern Annex, County Hall,Glenfield,Leicester,Leicestershire,LE3 8SS,England | Sector: | Libraries | Type: | Local/Regional government | Jurisdiction: | Leicestershire | Telephone: | 0116 222 2600 | Identifier: | 45255 |
