Sharing a bunch of pictures from 10 Downing Street, Hamilton wrote on Instagram, 'The future of education must be inclusive. Today, myself, @mission44, our partners, and some incredible students met with the UK Prime Minister for an important discussion on how we can make sure all young people are supported to succeed in school, regardless of their background.
I struggled in school and never felt like my voice was heard, so I know firsthand that ensuring every student feels they belong in school is vital.
'
Sharing the conclusion of the meeting and more about his initiative, the Ferrari driver wrote, 'I'm grateful that off the back of this meeting, the government has committed to working with Mission 44 to enact change focused on making the education system more inclusive. I'm so proud of how far M44 has come in such a short space of time and the opportunity we have to transform the lives of vulnerable students across the country.
'
'I encourage everyone to head to the Mission 44 website to find out more about today's announcement and support our work. We can create a fairer, more compassionate world, together,' he added.

Kim So Hyun reveals if Park Bo Gum is rude in real life, opens up about her ‘lethargic, unmotivated' image
Kim So Hyun and Park Bo Gum's onscreen reunion after a decade as co-stars is currently the most talked-about K-drama moment. The two are headlining Prime Video's Good Boy, alongside Lee Sang Yi, Tae Won Seok, Park Chul Min, and more. In the Shim Na Yeon directorial, Kim So Hyun plays Ji Hana, a former Olympic shooting gold medalist, who also happens to be the love interest of Yoon Dong Jo, played by Bo Gum. The actor recently sat down for a fun chat with Elle Korea, where she opened up about working with her co-stars, spilled on her social media habits, and shared how her advice game has seriously leveled up over the years. Also read: Park Bo Gum made a request to Kim So Hyun years ago: 'Remember this when the time comes'; the story behind Good Boy casting During the chat, So Hyun was asked to differentiate between Park Bo Gum's on-screen and off-screen behaviour. She was also pressed about the widely circulated rumour that he's rude on set. Despite the popular belief that he's one of the kindest actors in the K-drama scene, a few past incidents, and a recent when life gives you tangerines situation, where workers claimed they were treated rudely (without naming anyone), sparked some gossip. To that, Kim So Hyun said flat out: he's very kind. 'Is he a little bit rude?' So Hyun said with a laugh, adding that she gets asked questions like that all the time. 'But in this case, it's the opposite.' While she described Yoon Dong Joo as a bit frustrating, always hovering around her and the reason she ends up slapping her own forehead over and over, real-life Bo Gum, she said, is like a puppy. 'He's like a puppy. Full of love, affection, and cuteness.' Earlier, at a press conference, So Hyun also admitted that Bo Gum was the only reason she said yes to Good Boy. 'As soon as I heard that he was cast, I knew I had to be part of this project.' And this isn't the first time Bo Gum's been showered with praise by his female co-stars. His Tangerines co-lead IU once called him a walking green flag. Also read: Good Boy first Impression: Don't be fooled by 'Pouty' Park Bo Gum, he's delivering career-best punches Despite being active in the industry for years, So Hyun has only taken up a handful of roles. And most of the time, she gets criticised for having a 'boring' personality. When asked about it, Kim laughed it off. 'People say I look tired or bored, but I'm just shy. I don't react with big expressions, so even when I'm enjoying something, it doesn't show.' In the same breath, she also revealed the nickname she's earned on set. 'Everyone calls me 'grandma.' They said I looked extra tired today, but I'm usually just observing things with a warm smile, that's my vibe.' Apart from acting, So Hyun is also known for her huge mutual list on Instagram. She's currently following over 6,000 accounts, and a lot of those are fan pages. The actor revealed, back when she was still a teenager and Instagram was just taking off, she would often reply to DMs from fans and even give out advice. 'I didn't really know much about relationships,' she laughed, 'but I used to give a lot of career advice.' Now that she's in her mid-20s, Kim says she can finally offer relationship advice too. 'Don't date someone with a temper. Find someone kind, warm, and soft-hearted… like a loaf of bread.' But this wholesome approach of being concerned for everyone came with some setbacks. At one point, her account was even suspended for following too many fans too fast. These days, she's more careful. 'I still follow back sometimes,' she shared, 'but I check the first DM they ever sent me. If I feel like they've been a genuine fan for a while, I follow them back.'

He said, 'Guzaarish aur bahut dil se main chaahunga ki mere bete jo apna pehla kadam rakh rahe hai direction mein, mere beti jo actress ban rahi hai, un sabko bhi 50 percent pyaar bhi agar ye duniya dede jitna mujhe diya hai toh bahut zyada hoga (A heartfelt request from me — if this world can give even 50 percent of the love to my son, who is taking his first step into direction, and my daughter, who is becoming an actress, as much as it has given me, that would mean a lot)."

He had said, "Aaj jab main dekhta hoon mujhe lagta hai yaar, 'Aaj ki date mein main agar kisiso miloon, 4 mahine mein shaadi ka decision le sakta hoon'? Nahi. Zindagi bhar iske saath guzaarna hai (Today, when I think, 'If I meet somebody, could I decide to marry after four months'? No. I have to spend my entire life with her)."
