Ethnic and social minority groups face inequalities and challenges across the globe, while striving to maintain their traditions and culture. Educational curricula need to be tailored to each group’s specific heritage and traditions while still providing the tools required to succeed in the larger community. They should also be a way of fostering respect for all different groups, celebrating diversity and increasing equality, regardless of ethnicity, culture or race.
