The United World Colleges (UWC), whose Bosnian branch has accepted North Korean leader Kim Jong Il’s grandson as a student, is an international network of schools and colleges founded in 1962.
The first school in the network, which has establishments in thirteen countries, was opened in south Wales.
The main goal of UWC schools is to offer educational experience ‘based on shared learning, collaboration and understanding’ between students and teachers from different cultures, its website said.
South African leader Nelson Mandela became a honorary president of the UWC in 1999.
