The fact that the United Kingdom contains four separate nations makes it difficult for the country to maintain a unified educational system because each of the four nations has its own education system.The situation is similar in terms of culture and religion.The country has a relatively homogeneous culture although the different ethnic groups from all over the world have their own cultures.The majority of the population is Christian,although the country’s different ethnicities practice a variety of religions.
