Introduction

Culture can be considered as a characteristic of human nature that helps in sensing the environment. Culture is a framework wit which new information is processed and responded. In the context of school, culture is often considered as fixed, stable and invariant characteristic of an individual. As culture is learnt and it is not inherited, sue to this it is variable and dynamic those changes with the passage of time.
