Detailed explanation-1: -Students from minority cultures might stop wearing traditional clothes, eating the way they do at home or speaking their mother-tongue. Some students assimilate to feel accepted, only to find that they have given up an essential part of themselves by eliminating their difference from the majority group.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assimilation means combining or integrating the ideas, thoughts, or experiences of individuals. This style of education determines how students absorb new instructions and put them into the existing one. It is a form of adapting to the latest education without losing what students already know.
