This issue aims to provide a scholarly platform to explore the intersections between minority cultures, ethnic identities, and education systems across the globe. In an increasingly diverse and interconnected world, understanding how education impacts cultural preservation, identity formation, and social integration for minority groups is critical.

• The challenges of cultural integration and assimilation in multicultural educational spaces
• Education as a tool for empowerment and social mobility within minority communities
