The Role of Educational Technology in the Development of Basic Education for Ethnic Minorities

As a result of the influence of history, traditions and geographical environments, considerable disparities in economy, culture, and education exist between ethnic minorities and majority nationalities in many countries. To them, how to bridge the gaps between ethnic groups remains a severe challenge. Major nation-states in the world such as Britain, Australia, India, and Russia, have emphasized the importance of equalizing education for all nationalities through legislation. Basic laws and regulations have been promulgated to ensure cultural diversity, secure enrollment opportunities of ethnic minorities, and integrate minority education into the modernized mainstream education (Gu et al., 2015)
