P.D.M.U. stands for Personal Development and Mutual Understanding
P.D.M.U. AT FOUNDATION STAGE

Teachers should help children to become aware of the world beyond their immediate environment and to learn about others from a basis of tolerance, respect and open-mindedness. They should encourage them to understand similarities and respect differences in people in the local and wider community.
