Abstract

The principal objective of education is to cultivate essential skills and sound moral values in students. Students belonging to ethnic minority groups in basic education levels are in a crucial phase of developing their character. The incorporation of educational technology within ethnic minority education has the capacity to enhance the academic proficiency of these students, elevate their self-esteem, and foster a constructive, optimistic, and inclusive perspective. The aim of this article is to shed light on the impact of digital education on the school environment of ethnic minority students and its influence on their character development. The article draws on examples of online distance education practices in China to illustrate this difference.
