Abstract

In today’s world, education is an essential component of people’s lives. It is a critical factor in propelling national growth. China, as one of the world’s largest economies, is also working hard to promote an education strategy that benefits all citizens. However, despite the continuing fast pace of advancement, the voice of the minority groups should be heard to guarantee that they are not left behind. This paper looks at the right to get education and emphasizes on the difference between the access to education for Chinese minorities and the Han majority. Through literature research, comparative research, and statistical analysis, the paper discovers the reasons and influence of such inequality. The uneven allocation of education has been a norm for years through the history. Distinctiveness, Vulnerable and Content differences are the characteristics of Chinese minority education. It faces many problems in languages, the quality and quantity of minority teachers, teaching materials, and education investment. Overall, the development of ethnic minority regions requires numbers of elite leaders and cadres. Training local talents is of significant importance. Chinese authority can also learn from the strategies used by the United States to preserve minority groups’ right to education.
